- The problem with the toshiba's top margin is a real annoyance, but the
- best solution is by hand: when you feed in the paper by pulling the
- paper bail back, KEEP IT BACK and roll the paper down by hand until the
- top edge is level with the print head. After you start the print job
- and the paper rolls up a few lines, snap the paper bail back. If you
- don't tear off the last sheet between jobs, you don't have to do this
- again. All other solutions only work if you never want to alter the
- size of the top margin to less than the automatic feed or they create
- other problems. If you set TP to 0, you are tricking the program into
- thinking that the top margin of p. 2 is the bottom margin of p. 1: a
- potential problem.
-
- The command to have the printer set the top margin is probably the old
- TF default, undocumented since ver. 1 when it interfered with footnotes.
- It can probably be put in NBCUSTOM or in the printer table, but it
- assumes that the top margin will always be the amount set on the
- printer. If you want, e.g., a 3-line top margin follwed by a header
- with one printed line and two blank, you'll have to use the manual trick
- anyway. So the easiest thing is to get used to playing with the paper every
- time you load and start: that always works.
