•1stDotAdjRear

Applies to continuous forms fed through the optional Rear Push Trac tor.

The default is 0.

Align1 Pos. Adj. Align2 Pos. Adj. Align3 Pos. Adj Align4 Pos. Adj.

To use this setting, The corresponding Align 1/ Align 2/ Align 3 / Align 4 setting must be selected for Auto Align or Auto Align (POW).

Use these to set up to four custom values for the left margin on forms when you are using manual feed from the platform. This represents the distance from the left edge of the page to the left side of the first printed character. Adjusts within a range of 0 to

45.4 mm, in 1/90-inch [0.26 mm] increments.

The default setting is 5.1 mm.

Microline 8810 User’s Guide

Explanation of Menu Items • 47

Auto Align

Form Unusable with Auto Align.bmp

Applies only to manual feed from the platform.

When Auto Align is engaged (the printer default), you can use the front panel switches to change to a different preset left margin value (Align 1, 2, 3, or 4). The values are set in the menu under Align1 Pos. Adj., etc.

This lets you quickly switch to another form which requires a different left margin. For more information on using the front panel to change Align settings, see page 12.

If MemoryAutoAlign (see page 57) is set to Valid [the default], whichever Align setting you last used will be saved in memory and engaged the next time you turn on the printer.

Note This setting does not apply when the printer initializes in

response to an I-PRIME signal.

Available settings: Align 1 [the default], Align 2, Align 3, Align 4, or Invalid (skew adjustment disabled).

Auto Align Detect

Detects and corrects paper skew when manual feed through the platform is being used with Auto Align enabled [the default]. Available settings: Valid Level 1, Valid Level 2 [the default], or Invalid.

Change to Valid Level 1 if you wish the detection to be more precise.

Change to Invalid if you are experiencing difficulty getting forms to load into the printer when using preprinted forms with anomalies at the top such as a large dark area on one side or a cutout. Such types of forms defeat the skew sensor.

Auto Align (POW)

Note This setting interacts with the other "Align" items in the

Manual Feed group. See page 36.

Sets the alignment method (skew adjustment) engaged for manual feed from the platform when the printer is turned on.

Note This setting does not affect the printer when it initializes in

response to an I-Prime signal.

Available settings: Align 1, Align 2, Align 3, Align 4, or SelectAutoAlign [the default].

• Select Auto Align [the default]: Skew adjustment is set by Auto Align in the Manual Feed group. See page 36.

Setting the Printhead Gap

General Information

The printhead gap is the distance between the printhead and the platen.

Your printer comes from the factory set to automatically detect the printhead gap (Auto Gap selected) for the media being fed in. Certain media, especially media with uneven thickness, may not work well with the Auto Gap feature and could produce unsatisfactory print results.

To correct for this, change from Auto Gap to a manually set gap. You may need to experiment a bit to determine the best manual setting for a particular media.

Note Because their thickness varies, envelopes do not work with Auto

Gap.
