NoWThe best “start-position” (step 18)will vary according to the paper on which you are printing and the number of blank lines in your document. If you are a novice with dot matrix printers, you might try to position your paper just above the in-place paper press for your first attempts. With practice, you’ll be able to place the paper right where you want to start printing.
Another note: If you use multipart paper (such as a three-sheet carbonless form) with your Gemini-15X, you’ll need to adjust the print gap, as discussed later in this chapter.
Congratulations! You’ve learned how to load the paper.
Next, we’ll discuss the ribbon and print gap,
then you’ll be on your way to less reading and more printing.
