To load the paper into the unit, use this procedure:

•Be sure the printer is turned off; then open the front protective lid to move the print head to the middle of the platen.

•Pull the paper bail and the friction-control lever toward the front of the printer (refer back to Figure 1-12).

•Insert the paper under the paper separator and the platen and push the paper through to the front.

•Position the pin feeders, using the pin-feed locking levers to make the adjustment. One is shown in Figure 1-18.

•Raise the black covers of both pin feeders and ease the paper over the pins. Adjust the paper or pin feeders as necessary so that there are no wrinkles or dips in the paper. Now you are ready to set the top of form.
