Reloading during printing

When you print a document more than one page long using single- sheet paper, there are two ways your software can enable you to load a new sheet at the end of a page:

•If your software sends characters in a continuous stream, the printer

stops printing when it reaches the bottom of the paper. When this happens, the ON LINE light goes off automatically.

•If your software handles printing page by page, it probably stops

sending characters at the end of a page and prompts you to insert more paper. In this case, the ON LINE light may remain on. If it does, the first thing you should do is press the ON/OFF LINE button once to turn it off.

Once the ON LINE light is off, remove the sheet that has just been printed and load a new sheet in the same way as before.

Printing multi-part forms and copies

If you wish to print multi-part forms or carbon copies, use no more than three sheets or parts at a time, with a total thickness of no more than 0.01 inches. The factory setting for the paper thickness lever, located inside the front lid on the left side, accommodates both single sheets and multiple forms. There is no need to adjust the lever.

Operating the Control Panel

Now that your paper is loaded, it is time to see what the indicators and buttons on the control panel do. First, see that the power switch on the left side of the printer is on. Then take a look at the control panel. (See Figure 1-19.)
