Micro Feed
The micro-feed feature allows you to move the paper forward or
backward in 1/180-inch increments. You can use this feature to
adjust the loading and tear-off positions.
When you make adjustments to the loading or tear-off positions
for continuous paper, the printer remembers the new position even
if you turn off the printer. The printer automatically advances
paper to the new position when the power is turned on again.
When you adjust the loading position for single-sheet paper, the
printer remembers the new position only until you turn off the
power. The loading position returns to the factory setting when
the
power is turned on again.
