If the printer is unable to finish printing the page, it will attempt to reprint the page as described below (also refer to the Reprint Page Size option which follows). Note that if highly precise printing is required in the last inch of the form, Finish Page may not provide accurate enough paper motion since the form is no longer controlled by the tractor mechanism.

When Reprint Page is selected, the printer will stop printing as soon as the end of paper or a paper jam condition is detected and the printer will go off line. After a new box of forms is loaded, the printer will attempt to reprint the current page from the beginning. If the printer is able to reprint the page, Reprinting Page! will be displayed when the new form is loaded (the previous partially printed page should probably be discarded).
