DMP 250 (26-2886)        Adjusting Top-of-Form         Faxback Doc. # 4227

The printer memorizes where to print the first line on each sheet.  This 
is called the top-of-form (TOF) position.  The default top-of-form 
position is approximately one inch, as measured from the top edge of the 
paper to the top of a normal size character in the first line.

You can adjust the top-of-form position within  a range of 26/60-inch 
above the current position to two inches below the current position, in 
1/60-inch increments.

└────────────────────────────────────┘

1.  Be sure that the printer's display shows ON LINE and that paper is in 
    a TOF or tear-off position.

Faxback Document # 4226 can provide specific instructions on the auto tear
off function.

2.  Press either PARK LOAD or LF/FF for more than 1 1/2 seconds to enter 
    the TOF setting mode.  The printer retracts paper to the current TOF 
    position if the paper is in the tear-off position.  The display 
    changes to VTOP MD.

3.  Press PARK/LOAD or LF/FF to move the paper up or down to the desired
    position.  The number after VTOP on the display changes to show the
    current TOF setting in 1/60-inch increments.  VTOP +015 indicates that 
    the paper has moved up 15/60 inch.

4.  If you want to store the new TOF position in the printer's memory so 
    the printer always positions the paper there when it is turned on, 
    press QUIET/SAVE twice.  The printer memorizes the setting, and 
    displays SAVED.  For a temporary setting only, simply press ON LINE.

Note: You can set one VTOP for single sheets and another for fanfold paper 
      and save both settings in one macro.  The DMP 250 senses which VTOP 
      to use by the position of the paper lever.  This convenience elimin-
      ates the need to change the top of form each time you switch between
      fanfold paper and single sheets.

In addition, since there are four macros and each one stores two VTOP
settings, you can save up to eight different starting print positions. For
more information on macros, Faxback Document # 4232 can provide specific
instruction on creating a macro.
