Summary:

When doing manual feed on the Brother HR15, HR25, and HR35 printers, an additional inch is included in the top margin. For example, if a top margin of one inch is specified, the top margin is actually two inches when printed using manual feed.

When the TOF (top of form) button on the Brother printer is pressed during manual feed, the paper is scrolled one inch. This places the print head one inch down from the top edge of the paper. Because the Brother driver assumes that the print head on the printer is at zero, it is necessary to scroll the paper back one inch so the print head is at zero. Then, when it begins printing, it will scroll the proper measurement for the top margin. This is the way the driver was designed.
