The Heavy Forms feature allows the printhead to be positioned horizontally on the form to
avoid labels, paper perforations, or other variations in form thickness that can cause paper
handling issues.
This feature becomes active when paper advances more than 0.5". Refer to HF: On Feed
Feature in M2 Forms Control.
The default location of the printhead is 2" from the left side of the printer.
To change the location of the printhead from the default value, follow these steps:

1. Load form in printer and open keypad door.

2. Press Menu key to access M2 Forms Control.

3. Press Feature  key to access the Heavy Forms feature.

4. The value in the display represents the location of the printhead for form feeds and

paper advances over 0.5".

5. Press the Value keys to change this setting.

For example: A label is located on the form from 3 to 5 inches from the

left edge of the form. Set the Heavy Form feature at 1.5 inches or 6.5 inches to
insure that the printhead and ribbon guide is away from the label during high speed
paper moves. The feature may also be set to avoid paper staples on the pin drive
margins of the forms.

If the entire form is jamming, set this value to 8.5" to keep the printhead

away from the perforation folds (paper tents) during form feeding.
