5. Ensure to place the lever at position. Then press the Load/Eject key to load the black
marked form. The top edge of the form will then align with the printer’s tear-off blade.
Press Next or Back until you see the black mark marginally exposed out of the tear-off
blade. Then press OK to allow the printer to scan the horizontal offset of the black mark
relative to the left edge of the page. (Meanwhile, the vertical position of the black mark
is measured and recorded.)
When the printer fails to scan the horizontal offset, it prompts you to repeat the above
procedures. If scanning is successful, it prompts:
Successfully setup black mark parameters.
Distance Offset From Black Mark To Print Position
6. The last prompt above invites you to set the next parameter --- vertical offset of the first
print line from the black mark. Like other setting dialogs, you have options:
1) to bypass this setting (by pressing Next or Back), (WARNING: Not to skip or change
the order in Black Mark Setting.)
2) to accept the invitation (by pressing OK),
3) to leave the subsequent settings (by press Exit), or
4) to terminate the session and save modified parameter(s) (by pressing Save and
Restart).
7. When you respond with “OK” to set the vertical offset, the printer prompts you to reload
a black marked fanfold form:
Press any key to eject the paper, and load paper with black mark in the Fanfold
Path.
The top edge of the form will then align with the printer’s tear-off blade. Press Next or
Back to feed or reverse-feed the paper till the desired first print line position is reached.
(With the above measured vertical position, the printer will convert the net paper feeding
to the TOF relative to the black mark.) Press OK to confirm the vertical offset. Then the
print prompts the invitation for setting the tear-off position relative to the black mark:
Successfully setup black mark parameters.
Distance Offset From Black Mark To Tear Position
8. When you respond with OK to set the tear-off position, the printer prompts you to reload
a black marked fanfold form:
Press any key to eject the paper,and load paper with black mark in the Fanfold
Path.
The printer reloads the form. By default the form stops 5.5 inches away from the
printer’s tear-off blade. Press Next or Back to feed or reverse-feed the paper till the
desired tear-off position is reached. (With the above measured vertical position, the
printer will convert the net paper feeding to the tear-off position relative to the black
mark.) Press OK to confirm the tear-off offset relative to the black mark. Finally, press
Save and Restart to save new settings and terminate the session.
