Using the Micro Adjust Function
The Micro Adjust function allows you to move the paper forward or backward in 0.141 mm (1/180-inch) increments so that you can make precise adjustments to the top-of-form and tear-off positions.
Adjusting the tear-off position
If the paper perforation is not in the desired tear-off position, you can use the Micro Adjust function to adjust the position of the perforation.
Follow these steps to adjust the tear-off position.
Note:|
Your tear-off position setting remains in effect until you change it, even if you turn off the printer.
|
 |
Make sure the paper is at the current tear-off position.
|
 |
Hold down the Pause button for about three seconds. The Pause light flashes and the printer enters Micro Adjust mode.
|
 |
Press the FF
 button to feed the paper forward, or press the Load/Eject  button to feed the paper backward, until the paper perforation is in the desired tear-off position. |
Note:|
The printer has a minimum and a maximum tear-off position (up to 25.4 mm [1 inch] backward or 50.8 mm [2 inches] forward). If you try to adjust the tear-off position beyond these limits, the printer beeps and stops moving the paper. When the paper reaches the default tear-off position, the printer also beeps.
|
 |
Tear off the printed pages.

 |
Press the Pause button to exit Micro Adjust mode.

Adjusting the top-of-form position
The top-of-form position is the position on the page where the printer starts printing. If your printing appears too high or low on the page, you can use the Micro Adjust function to adjust the top-of-form position.
Follow these steps to adjust the top-of-form position.
Note:|
Your top-of-form position setting remains in effect until you change it, even if you turn off the printer.
The top margin setting made in some applications overrides the top-of-form position setting you make with the Micro Adjust function. If necessary, adjust the top-of-form position in your application.

Make sure the paper is at the current top-of-form position.
|
|
Open the top cover.
|
|
Hold down the Pause button for about three seconds. The Pause light flashes and the printer enters Micro Adjust mode.
|
|
Press the FF
button to move the top-of-form position down on the page, or press the Load/Eject button to move the top-of-form position up on the page. |
Note:|
The printer has a minimum and a maximum top-of-form position (up to 1.129 mm [8/180-inch] backward or 50.8 mm [2 inches] forward). If you try to adjust it beyond these limits, the printer beeps and stops moving the paper.
When the paper reaches the default top-of-form position, the printer also beeps and stops moving the paper briefly. You can use the default setting as a reference point when adjusting the top-of-form position.
|
You can adjust the top-of-form position by opening the top cover and aligning the paper with the scale in the printer.
