nLoading sprocket-feed paper

This is the familiar computer paper, with the holes along the sides and perforations between the sheets. It is also called sprocket, punched, fan-fold, or just plain “computer paper.” It can be as narrow as 4”, and up to 15.5” wide.

1.Turn on the printer and set the release lever for sprocket- feed paper.

2.If the paper guide is installed, remove it.

3.Place a stack of fan-fold paper behind the printer.

4.Open the sprocket covers, on the right and left sprocket units, as shown in Figure 2-7.

5.Flip the clamp levers backward. This allows the two sprocket units to move freely right and left so you can align them with the holes in the paper.

6.Feed the end of the paper into the slot next to the platen cover plate.

7.Fit the holes in the paper over the sprocket pins so the paper is even, and clamp the sprocket units in place.

8.Check that the paper is still positioned correctly, and close the sprocket covers (Figure 2-8).

9.The Paper Empty indicator should be glown. Turn the platen knob to feed the paper until the indicator goes out.

10.Now turn the platen knob the other way just a bit, until the indicator glows again.
