Micro Feed | Fujitsu DL3800 guide

PAPER HANDLING

Micro Feed

Use the micro feed function to fine tune the position of the paper. This function is valid when the printer is offline. Press the ONLINEÊ and LF/FF buttons simultaneously to micro-feed paper forward. Press the ONLINEÊ and TEAR OFF buttons simultaneously to micro-feed paper backward.

Remember that the top-of-form will slip from the original setting.

Load Position Adjust

Use also the micro feed function to adjust the load position of the paper. This function is valid when the printer is offline. When this function is used immediately after the LOAD button is pressed, the adjusted position is retained as the new load position until the power is turned off. Pressing the ONLINEÊ and LOAD buttons simultaneously saves the new position permanently.

SWITCHING PAPER TYPES If you have more than one type of job, it is often necessary to switch between continuous forms and single sheets. This section explains how to switch between paper types. It is not necessary to remove the continuous forms paper from the printer. This function is not available for pull-tractor feed.

NOTE

This function is not available for continuous forms paper that is fed

by the pull-tractor.
