Paper Handling

Unloading Continuous Forms (Push-Feed Mode)

To unload continuous forms:

1.Make sure that the paper select lever is set to the rear position.

2.Press the Park button. The continuous forms paper is retracted to the park position. If the paper cannot be retracted in one operation, continue to press the Park button until the paper is parked.

Note: The printer can retract continuous forms paper a maximum of 50.8 cm (20 inches) per operation.

3. To remove the paper, raise the tractor paper holders and lift out the paper.

Note: To unload continuous forms fed by the pull-tractor, set the paper thickness lever to D, then remove the paper manually.

Recovering from an Unexpected Unloading Operation

If you have accidentally pressed the Park button, you can cancel this operation in two ways only if this unexpected operation was unsuccessful (the paper was not actually parked, and the Fault indicator is blinking).

•Press the Pause button.

The printer switches to the Ready state and the paper moves according to the setting of the TEAR Set-Up option.

•Press the FF/Load button.

The paper moves back to the place it was positioned before you pressed the Park button.

Tearing Off Continuous Forms

Caution: Continuous forms paper that is fed by the pull-tractor cannot be torn off in the following way.

Automatic-Tear-Off Advancing

Your printer has a special “tear bar” that allows you to tear off printed pages without wasting paper. The tear bar is located on the top cover.

Your printer is factory-set for automatic tear-off. When a printing job ends (including a form feed command), the bottom perforation of the last printed page is automatically positioned in front of the tear bar. You can change the positioning delay from one to five seconds, using the Set-Up mode. The printer is placed in the Pause state (Ready indicator off).
