SUMMARY
=======

The automatic "Top Of Form" adjustment for the Okidata 9- and 24-pin dot-matrix
printers is not supported under the Microsoft Windows. The paper must be
adjusted so that the top of the page or perforation is right above the print
head.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The Okidata 9- and 24-pin printers provide an automatic Top Of Form adjustment.
To make this adjustment, load in the tractor-feed paper so that the paper is
just grabbing on a few of the pins. Then pull back the lever on the left towards
the front of the printer; this process should automatically feed the paper to
the correct position. Push the lever towards the back of the printer. The
printer knows that the print head is about 7/8-inch down from the top of the
page; however, Windows needs it right at the top.
