Figure 1-18. Top-of-page position
To set the top-of-page position, use the LINE FEED function to
advance the paper until a perforation between sheets lines up evenly
with the top of the ribbon guide, as shown in Figure 1-18.
Now turn the printer OFF, then back ON. This reinitializes the
printer and records this top-of-page setting. The printer remembers
this setting and uses it when any program tells it to move to the top of
the next page, or when you use the FORM FEED button to advance
the paper.
If you are using a word processor or other applications program
and the printing is too high or too low on the page, adjust your top-of-
page setting accordingly.
Adjusting the paper-thickness lever
The FX-286 is equipped with a paper-thickness lever that can be
adjusted to accommodate varying thicknesses of paper.
The lever is located in front of the paper release lever on the left side
of the printer as shown in Figure
1-19.
When you receive your
FX-286,
the lever is set for standard paper
thickness (about 1/500th of an inch). For thicker paper or multiple
copies, pull it toward the front of the printer (“+“). To return the lever
to the standard position, see Figure
1-19.
