Selecting a Loading Option

The optional paper loading feature, available on the OCP’s main menu, allows you to choose a loading option depending on your needs. The option you choose determines how much paper is used during the load and whether or not the first images from the shoe have cut or order punches.

•2-Step Dark— the room is completely dark while the paper is being cinched onto the takeup cassette. When loading, the paper is only partially advanced through the printer.
