Customizing the Installation
This document tells you how to perform a typical installation,
using the default settings of the printer.
These default settings do not need to be adjusted as part of a
standard installation. However, you may need to adjust settings
to fit your requirements.
Some settings you may need to adjust as part of your installation
are:
• Top of Form (TOF)
• Paper Path
• Printhead Gap
To adjust these settings, refer to the appropriate subsection of
Using Your Printer in the Users Guide.
Top of Form (TOF)
!If you turn the platen knob when the printer is turned on,
you will cause the Top of Form to mis-align. Always turn
the printer off before turning the platen knob!
!The factory default setting for the Top of Form (where the
printing should begin) is one inch down from the top of
the page.
!Your software may print the first line of print above or
below where TOF is set. You may need to adjust the TOF
to meet your software’s needs. Use the procedures in the
“User’s Guide, Using Your Printer, Top of Form, Forms
Tear-Off Status (ON or OFF).”
!The first line prints at the red line of the plastic paper
shield (1) on the printhead.

The Top of Form and Forms Tear-Off settings of your printer
interact.
How you set the Top of Form depends on the status of the Forms
Tear-Off menu setting.
If Forms Tear-Off is activated (set to ON), set the Top of Form
using the Users Guide, Using Your Printer, Setting Top of
Form, Forms Tear-Off ON (Step A).
If Forms Tear-Off is NOT activated (set to OFF), set the Top of
Form using the Users Guide, Using Your Printer, Setting Top of
Form, Forms Tear-Off OFF (Step B).
