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 off-line. Then use the LF 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 on-line.

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

❏Set the release lever on the back of the printer to the cut-sheet position.

The paper is now parked, and you can load cut-sheet paper into the printer using the procedures under “Manual sheet feeding” on page 59.

Unparking fanfold paper

After you are finished printing on cut-sheet paper, use the following procedure to unpark fanfold paper and make it available for printing.

❏If any cut-sheet paper is still in the printer, put the printer on-line and then press the control panel’s LF button to eject it.

❏Check to make sure the printer is off-line.

❏Set the release lever on the back of the printer to the fanfold position.
