Using Single Sheets

To eject the paper, set the printer off line (by pressing the ON LINE button) and then press the FORM FEED button.

CAUTION: Never advance the paper using the paper feed knob while the printer is turned on.

Reloading during printing

When you print a document more than one page long using single sheets of paper, there are two ways your software can allow you to load a new sheet at the end of a printed 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 page ejects and 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 LINE button once to take the printer off line.

In either case, once the ON LINE light is off, remove the sheet that has just been printed and load a new sheet as before.

Press the ON LINE button to start printing the next page.
