Selecting And Loading Forms
Note: A form is not considered “loaded” by merely placing the form in the tractors. To prevent printing on the wrong form, the printer must be made aware of what form(s) are currently loaded. When a new form is placed in the tractors, the form must be “loaded” using the control panel as described in the next section, “Loading a Different Form in the Tractors”.
Selecting a Form Already Loaded In the Tractors
To select a form that is already loaded in the tractors, take the printer off line and press the FORM SELECT button until that form is displayed (a form that is not considered to be loaded will flash Not Loaded on the bottom line of the display). The form selection will be displayed as FORM 0 through FORM 9 or as the actual name of the form if that has been set up.
To position the form for printing, you may press the FORM FEED button, which will position the form, or you may press the ONLINE button, which will both position the form and place the printer on line.
Loading a New or Different Form In the Tractors
This section describes how to “load” a form in the tractors. This involves physically placing the paper or form in the tractor mechanism and then informing the printer that the new form is present.
Select the Form to be Loaded
1.Take the printer off line by pressing the ONLINE button. The ONLINE green indicator would now be turned off.
2.Press the UNLOAD/FORM SELECT button. This will move the current form from the print position down to the tractors for removal.
