Setting The Sop With A Switch; Centering The Sop Gap - Epson FX-80 User Manual

Note: No matter what your SOP setting is, the printer skips that
many blank lines above the perforation to the new TOE This
means you will have all of your blank space at the bottom of
each form. To get the same amount of blank space on the top
and bottom of each page, you must set the TOF below the per-
foration. For the standard 6-line (I-inch) gap, setting the top of
form to half an inch below the perforation will provide a blank
half inch at the bottom of the page and another at the top of the
next page (Figure 8-5).

Set the top of a new form about half an inch below the perforation
(see Figure 8-5) and tum the printer back on. Then
