Operating Procedures

Changing the Paper Loading Option

When using the Paper Loading Feature, you should select the paper load option before you load paper into the printer. However, you can change the paper load option at any time. If you change the loading option:

before selecting “Unload Takeup and Rethread” from the main menu on the OCP, the paper will follow the rethreading procedure for the loading option that you selected.

after the paper is loaded but before the first exposure is made, the paper loading process will not be affected. If you are using the “2-Step Dark” option and the paper is not cinched, you will still be prompted to “go dark” when it is time to cinch the paper.

When you change the paper loading option from “1-Step Normal” or “1-Step Save” or “2-Step Dark” or “2-Step Light”, the printer will print the first exposure on the paper that is already positioned in the shoe. Similarly, when you change the paper loading option from “1-Step Subdued”, “2-Step Dark” or “2-Step Light” to “1-Step Light”, the first exposure will not be made on the paper in the shoe and all images will be punched appropriately.

Additional Paper Loss

(For 1-Step Save and 2-Step Rethread Paper Loading Only)

Only one exposure is made on the paper that is in the shoe after loading. Some paper may be wasted if the total size of the images on the first exposure does not fully use the paper in the shoe (33 inches). If “Automatic Roll ID” is enabled, the first image on the roll (for the Roll ID) is 6.5 inches long. This leaves 22.5 inches available for additional images.

If the first image for the second exposure is less than 12.5 inches,12 inches of paper between the first and second exposure may be wasted.

If the printer is reinitialized before the first exposure, additional paper is advanced and all images are individually punched.

Changing the Length of Paper Remaining on the Supply Roll

The value displayed is the length of paper that is left on the supply roll or in the takeup cassette. This number should be edited when a new or partially used paper roll is installed in the printer. You will normally receive a prompt to enter this number when a new roll is being loaded into the printer. The value should only need to be modified here if there is a need to change the number. The range for paper is 0 to 999.

1.Select “Setup” from the main menu on the OCP.

2.Select “Paper”.

3.Select “Supply Length”.

4.Select “Takeup Length”.

5.Use the Up and Down Arrows to select a new length for the paper.
