Selecting a Form Already Loaded in the Tractors

To select a form that is already physically in the tractors, take the printer off line and press the UNLOAD/CHANGE button until that form is displayed (a form that is not considered to be loaded will flash <Not Loaded> on the bottom line of the display). The form selection will be displayed as FORM 0 through FORM 9 or as the actual name of the form if that has been set up.

To position the form for printing, you may press the LOAD/FEED button, which will position the form, or you may press the ONLINE button, which will both position the form and place the printer on line.

Loading a New or Different Form In the Tractors

This section describes how to “load” a form in the tractors. This involves physically placing the paper or form in the tractor mechanism and then informing the printer that the new form is present.

Select the Form to be Loaded

1.Take the printer off line by pressing the ONLINE button. The ONLINE indicator should now be flashing red.

2.Press the UNLOAD/CHANGE button. This will move the current form from the print position to the tractors for removal.

3.Continue to press the UNLOAD/CHANGE button until the desired form name is shown on the top line of the display. The form name will

be FORM 0 through FORM 9 or the actual name of the form if the name has been set in SETUP. If the desired form is not considered to be “loaded” by the printer, <Not Loaded> will flash on the bottom line of the display.
