![Tally Dascom 1140 5.6 Black Mark Parameters This printer uses tractors to load fanfold forms with pre-printed black marks. The printer requires 3 parameters to print on paper with black marks: 1. Horizontal offset of black mark from the edge of page (called Black Mark Physical Horizontal Position); later on, this value facilitates the printer to locate its scanner preparing for identifying the black marks. 2. Vertical offset of the first print line from the black mark (called Distance Offset From Black Mark To Print Position); later on, the print makes use of this value to print the first line relative to the black mark. 3. Vertical offset of the tear-off edge from the black mark (called Distance Offset From Black Mark To Tear Position); this value informs the printer the tear-off position of the page. Not to skip or change the order of setting the above 3 parameters. The procedures to set the parameters: 1. Hold down the Tear key while powering on the printer and then release the key when the print head starts to move.
