If the paper does not load

If the platen (the black roller) turns but the paper does not load, remove the paper from the printer and try again, starting at Step 2. This time press the paper a little more firmly into place.

If nothing happens at all, see that the printer is ON and that the ON LINE light is off. Then remove the paper and try again.

Reloading during printing

When you print a document more than one page long using single sheets of paper, there are two different ways your software can allow 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 and sounds the beeper. 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 probably remains on, and the first thing you should do is press the ON 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.

Reinstalling the Tractor Unit

When you want to switch from single-sheet to continuous-feed paper, you need to reinstall the tractor unit.

1.Remove the printer cover.

2.Hold the tractor with the gears to the right and fit the rear notches on the tractor unit over the rear mounting pins on the printer, as shown in Figure 2-5.

3.Tilt the tractor unit toward you until the front latches click in place over the front mounting pins on the printer.
