Using the Load/Unload function
Use the Load/Unload button to unload continuous forms from the printer to allow printing on either a cut form or an envelope.
The Load/Unload function works only when the tractor unit is in the push position.
You can also use the Load/Unload button to load continuous forms into the printer when the paper path is clear, or to change one type of pre‑printed form to another.

light comes on.
To lock the control panel:
1Turn the printer off.
2Press and hold Load/Unload and Tractor while turning the printer on.
