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 that is shown on the Con®gure Printer window under the Con®gure
c.Pages for the queued job are printed on Printer 1 starting on the page following the alignment page during this and following selections of the Feed Forms pushbutton. Printer 2 processes blank pages.
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 do the following:
a.Manually thread the Buffer/Flipper Unit (see ªThreading the Buffer/Flipper Unitº on page 167 for details).
b.Advance the forms under Printer 2 into the input area of Printer 2.
c.Thread Printer 2.
The Feed Forms pushbutton 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 you need additional length to supply enough forms to thread Printer 2, SELECT the Printer 1 Feed Page pushbutton on the window on the Printer 1.
5.If the queued job is too short to print all pages on Printer 1 for the complete ªLength of Forms Between Transfer Pointsº, the Feed Forms window pushbutton and the Feed pushbutton become inoperable before the ªLength of Forms Between Transfer Pointsº is achieved. A message appears in the
In this case you may either:
vSELECT the No option in the Print While Threading ®eld. This restores use of the Feed Forms pushbutton and the Feed pushbutton so that you may continue with the threading process.
vRequest the host system operator to send more print jobs to the system, which when received, resumes printing operations on Printer 1.
Periodically SELECT the Feed Forms pushbutton. When more data is available, forward movement of the forms while printing resumes until the ªLength of Forms Between Printersº distance is achieved.
6.After enough forms have moved through Printer 1 and the Buffer/Flipper Unit and 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. You cannot thread the Urge Unit while the roller is moving.
b.Thread forms through the Urge Unit.
c.Restore power to the Urge Unit.
7.Follow the steps in ªLoading Forms (Duplex Mode)º on page 115 to thread Printer 2.
