Gemini-l 5X Loading Sprocket Paper

The Gemini-15X can be loaded with sprocket paper exactly the same as can the Gemini-lox, but with one important difference.

*The Gemini-15X is designed to accept paper either from the back of the printer or paper fed from beneath the printer. That’s right, there’s a slot in the undercarriage that lets you position the Gemini-15X above your stack of fanfold computer paper; this paper is fed up through the printer and out the back.

Following are the steps for loading sprocket paper to and through the Gemini-15X. Figure 2-11 illustrates steps 1 through 6.

1.Turn the power “off?

2.Install the tractor unit, as illustrated in Figure 2-7 (on page 23).

3.Attach the paper separator and paper guide (they are the two metal racks that are described in Appendix G).

4.Pull the release lever, located on the left side of the printer, toward the “open” position (marked “T”).

5.Raise the paper press.

6.Lift up the paper separator.

7.Raise the tractor covers on the sprocket mechanisms (as shown in Figure 2-12).

8.Snap the clamp levers (atop the sprocket mechanisms) forward to the open position, and move the sprocket mechanisms away from each other until there is enough room between them to accommodate the paper.
