Parking fanfold paper

It is not necessary to remove fanfold paper currently loaded in the printer in order to print on cut-sheet paper fed by hand. Instead, simply use the following procedure to park the fanfold paper.

Tear off the paper at a perforation so there is no more than half a page sticking out of the front cover of the printer.

If necessary, you can press the control panel’s ON LINE button to put the printer on-line. and then use the SET/EJECT/PARK button to feed the paper until a perforation is just past the front cover.

Press the control panel’s ON LINE button to put the printer off-line.

Press the control panel’s SET/EJECT/PARK button. The printer automatically reverse feeds the fanfold paper until it is no longer in contact with the platen.
