Using the Paper Memory Feature

WARNING: When you use multi-part forms that vary in thickness, do not press the TEAR OFF, FRONT/REAR, or reverse-feeding (bottom) MICRO FEED button or a paper jam may result. To remove these forms, tear off the fresh supply at a perforation below the front tractor, take the printer off line, and press the FORM FEED or LINE FEED button to eject the remaining forms.

Note: To use the paper memory feature, you need to reset some DIP switches. See the section on changing a DIP switch setting in this chapter for instructions on how to set a DIP switch.

Saving paper format and thickness information

The following sections describe how to save paper format and thickness information for different types of multi-part forms.

Saving information for overlapping multi-part forms

To save paper format and thickness information for multi-part forms that overlap slightly where they are joined together, follow the steps below.

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Use DIP switch 3-4 to select the memory area where you want the printer to store the paper format and thickness information. Memory area 1 is selected when DIP switch 3-4is off. (This is the printer’s default setting.) To select memory area 2, turn on the switch.
