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 New or 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.
