Switching Printer Modes (Dual Simplex/Duplex)

Use these procedures to switch between duplex and dual simplex modes on

Models ED1/ED2.

Note: Do not change the print mode in combination with any other con®guration changes. You must do it separately. Make other con®guration changes after the printer is in the correct print mode.

Switching from Duplex to Dual Simplex Mode

1.To stop the printer, SELECT the Stop pushbutton on the Display Touch Screen.

2.SELECT the Con®gure pull-down menu on the main Display Touch Screen window.

3.SELECT the Con®gure Printer procedure. The Con®gure Printer window appears.

4.Find and SELECT the Printer Mode item.

5.SELECT the Simplex item.

6.SELECT the OK pushbutton.

7.SELECT Restart when this prompt appears.

8.A window appears that informs you that an automatic Shutdown procedure has started. This is followed by a window that states that the system is being ªrebootedº (reloading AFCCU microcode). At the completion of the microcode reload, the Printer Mode change is in effect (one of the main simplex printer Display Touch Screen windows appears).

Note: No system power-off and power-on procedure is required.

9.To remove any forms still in the printer, see ªClearing the Forms Pathº on page 136.

10.Load paper and assign forms in both printers for dual simplex operation (see ªLoading Forms (Simplex or Dual Simplex Mode)º on page 102).
