Changing the auto load position 25

Important!

Though the Quiet Print Mode prints more quietly, it also causes printing to take considerably longer than normal printing.

o Make sure the printer is on -line (ON LINE indicator is lit).

o Press PRINT MODE, to toggle between the Quiet Print Mode and normal printing.

The printer emits one short beeps when the Quiet Print Mode is selected, and two short beep when normal printing is selected.

Changing the auto load position

Normally the printer automatically feeds paper to a standard position (1/6-inch from the top of the paper). This is called the auto load position. You can use the following procedure to specify a different auto load position.

oMake sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit). o While holding down ON LINE, press PRINT MODE and then

release the two buttons.

The printer will automatically eject the cut-sheet that is in the printer, or reverse feed fanfold paper until it is no longer in contact with the platen. Also, all the font and pitch indicators on the control panel will light.

o Press MULTI-PARTto feed the paper to the starting position.

o Feed the paper so the print head is located where you want the new auto load position to be.

Press LINE FEED to feed the paper forward and SET/EJECT/PARK to feed the paper backward. This is the micro feed operation.

o After you have the paper at the position you want, hold down ON LINE

and press SET/EJECT/PARK to make the current print head position the new auto load position. The printer will beep twice to indicate that the new auto load

position is set.

o To clear the new auto load position and return to the one that you set previously (using the above procedure), press ON LINE. To clear the currently set auto load position and return to the standard position (1/6 -inch from the top of the paper), hold down ON LINE and press MULTI-PART.
