| 3. SELECT the Feed Forms pushbutton on the Thread/Align Forms window. |
a. This prints a solid alignment mark after the leading edge on a page in | |
Printer 1, which is designated as an alignment page. | |
A | |
bar shows whether Side 1 or Side 2 of the form is being printed on Printer | |
1. | |
This prints a dashed alignment mark after the leading edge of the page. |
b.This feeds a ®xed length of forms through Printer 1.
The ®xed length is based on the ªForm Feed Lengthº con®guration item shown on the Con®gure Printer window under the Con®gure
4.Continue SELECTING the Feed Forms pushbutton on the window for Printer 1 until the forms do not advance any further.
Enough forms should have moved through Printer 1 to manually thread the Buffer/Flipper Unit (see ªThreading the Buffer/Flipper Unitº on page 167 for details). Advance the forms under Printer 2 into the input area of Printer 2, and thread Printer 2.
The Feed Forms pushbutton on the window for Printer 1 becomes inoperable when a multiple of the current loaded Form Name page length that is closest to but not exceeding the length in the ªLength of Forms Between transfer Pointsº con®guration item shown on the Con®gure Printer window under the Con®gure
When the Feed Forms pushbutton and the Feed pushbutton are inoperable and additional length is needed to supply enough forms to thread Printer 2, SELECT the Printer 1 Feed Page pushbutton on the window.
5.After enough forms have moved through Printer 1 and the Buffer/Flipper Unit, and you have created a buffer big enough between the Buffer/Flipper Unit and Printer 2 to allow you to thread Printer 2, do the following:
a.Remove power from the Urge Unit in the Forms Input area of Printer 2. The Urge Unit cannot be threaded while the roller is moving.
b.Thread forms through the Urge Unit.
c.Restore power to the Urge Unit.
6.Follow the steps in the ªLoading Forms (Duplex Mode)º on page 115 to thread Printer 2.
7.Visually verify that the dashed alignment mark that is printed on Printer 1 is aligned to the alignment mark on the input station on Printer 2.
a.If the alignment mark is aligned at Printer 2, check to see if there is a sufficient buffer loop of forms between Printer 1 and the Buffer/Flipper Unit. If you need to increase the buffer loop, change the ªLength of Forms Between Transfer Pointsº printer con®guration item. See the table item on page 223 for more information.
b.If the Printer 1 alignment mark is short of the alignment mark in Printer 2, SELECT the Printer 2 Feed Page pushbutton as many times as necessary until the Printer 1 alignment mark is aligned at Printer 2.
c.If the Printer 1 alignment mark is past the alignment mark in printer 2, ®rst add some more buffer loop between Printer 1 and the Buffer/Flipper Unit by SELECTING the Printer 1 Feed Page pushbutton several times. Then SELECT the Cancel pushbutton on the window.
You must now restart this Thread/Align Forms procedure.
