Resuming from a Paper-Out

The printer can “sense” when paper runs out. Depending upon how PPR-OUT (paper-out) is set in setup mode, the printer either:

•Stops printing and lights the red PAPER OUT indicator, or

•Continues printing until no more data remains in the printer.

See Chapter 5 for details on setting PPR-OUT. The factory default is to stop printing if continuous forms paper or single sheet paper runs out.

When the cut sheet feeder runs out of paper, the printer always stops printing, regardless of the PPR-OUT setting.

To resume printing when paper runs out, use either of the methods described below:

Printing the remaining lines on a page

This method is convenient to continue printing under the paper-out condition, but is not available when the cut sheet feeder is used.

1.Press the ONLINE button. The printer returns to online mode, prints or feeds one line, and the PAPER OUT indicator lights up again.

2.Repeat this procedure until the full page is printed. Line spacings, however, may be uneven.

CAUTION

When printing remaining lines, be careful not to print on the platen. Printing on the platen may damage both the platen and the print head.
