CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL

FORM FEED Button (REPRINT Button)

The Form Feed button works in two ways according to the Data LED status.

Form Feed

When the printer is off-line and there is data remaining in the printer memory, the Data LED comes on. Pressing the Form Feed button executes a form feed and prints out the remaining data.

If you set the number of copies with the Copy button and press the Sel button during copy printing, the printer suspends the form feed operation.

Pressing the Sel button again resumes the form feed operation.

When no data remains in the printer memory and you press the Form

Feed button, the printer ignores this button operation.

✒Note

If you want the printer to print out the remaining data automatically, you can set the auto form feed function with the Mode button. See “AUTO FORMFEED” in Chapter 4.

Reprint Function

You can reprint the last print job without sending it from the computer again. When you press the Form Feed button with the Data LED off, the printer reprints the pages of the last print job. 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 button once, so that the printer prints the pages of the last print job. However, if there is not enough memory to keep all the pages of the last print job, the printer will print only the last page of the last job.

When you press the Form Feed button one or more times during reprinting, you can set the number of copies to reprint. The printer reprints the last job the number of times you press the button.

✒Note

The reprint data remains in the printer’s memory until the printer is reset or the emulation, or some settings, are changed. After you have reprinted confidential data, be sure to reset the printer to clear it from the printer memory.
