PAPER HANDLING

Loading Paper in the Cut Sheet Feeder (Option)

A cut sheet feeder allows automatic printing on single sheets without the need to manually insert the sheets one-by-one. This can save you a lot of time when printing long files using single sheets. The 80-column printer uses an ASF100 cut sheet feeder; the 136-column printer uses an ASF300 cut sheet feeder. See Chapter 8 for more information on cut sheet feeders including a double-bin adapter.

The cut sheet feeder cannot be used with pull-tractor feeding (see the section Using Continuous Forms later in this chapter).

Before installing the sheet feeder on your printer:

1.Remove the acoustic cover and the two brackets from the separator. (To remove the brackets, open the separator and release their locking hooks from behind the separator.)

2.Remove the cut sheet stand from the printer. (Set the cut sheet stand to the down position, press in on the left grip to release its tab from the hole, and then pull out the cut sheet stand.)

For installation of the feeder, refer to its user’s manual. When a feeder is mounted, the printer mechanically knows the feeder type and controls the feeder accordingly.

The following procedure is for the ASF300 cut sheet feeder. The same procedure is used for the ASF100 cut sheet feeder.

NOTES

The rear tabs of the ASF100 cut sheet feeder are the same as the bin levers of the ASF300. The ASF100 cut sheet feeder does not have paper guide locking levers.

To load paper in the cut sheet feeder:

1.Make sure that the printer is turned on and continuous forms are retracted to the park position. (For details, see the section Unloading Continuous Forms later in this chapter.)

2.If necessary, reset the paper thickness lever. (See the section Adjusting for Paper Thickness earlier in this chapter.)

3.Move the paper select lever forward. (This lever is at the top left corner of the printer.)
