FORM FEED Switch (REPRINT Switch)

The FORM FEED switch works in two ways according to the DATA lamp status.

Form Feed

When the printer is off-line and there is data remaining in the printer memory, the DATA lamp comes on. Pressing the FORM FEED switch executes a form feed and prints out the remaining data. The display may look as follows:

01 PRINT 001P T1

If you set the number of copies with the COPY switch and press the FORM FEED switch during copy printing, the printer suspends the form feed operation and the display shows the following message:

07 FF PAUSE

Pressing the SEL switch again resumes the form feed operation.

When no data remains in the printer memory and you press the FORM FEED switch, the printer ignores this switch operation and the display shows the following message:

No Data !!!

✒Note

If you want the printer to print out the remaining data automatically, you can set the auto form feed function with the MODE switch. See “AU TO FORMFEED” in Chapter 4 .

Reprint Function

You can reprint the same page of data without sending it from the computer again. When you press the FORM FEED switch with the DATA lamp off, the printer reprints the same page. You can use this function in order to recover printing when a paper jam has occurred.

After printing is finished, set the printer off-line and press the FORM FEED switch once, so that the printer prints the last page of data.
