and then press the ON LINE button. The printer starts printing from the point at which it was stopped.

Setting up your software

When you switch between continuous paper and cut sheet feeder paper you usually need to change the settings of your software program. Because of the physical requirements of feeding a single sheet of paper, sheet feeders create a top and bottom margin on each sheet. To work properly, your software program needs to know how many printable lines are available on the page.

Paper comes in many different sizes and it is sometimes difficult to know exactly how many printable lines per page you have. When you perform a self test in sheet feeder mode, the printer automatically counts and prints the number of lines that are available on any size of paper. This is the number of lines you should use as the page length in your software setup. See the following section on the self test in cut sheet feeder mode for more details.
