Paper parking: Quiet Mode and Paper Feed switches

This procedure feeds the paper backward. It parks the fanfold form at the back of the printer so that you can switch to single-sheet feeding (by moving the release lever to the down position).

Before parking fanfold forms, tear off all but the last page, leaving less (at least three inches less) than a full page showing above the top cover.

1.Press the On Line switch to set the printer off-line.

2.Press the Quiet Mode switch and hold it down.

3.Press the Paper Feed switch. The paper will be fed out backward.
