Forms Marks

There are two tear bars; one on the bottom of the front door for tearing up and one on the printer housing for tearing down. Pull up or down at approximately a 45° angle and slightly to the right or left to tear the paper.

The forms mark sensor is located in the front right side of the printer. Be sure the paper is loaded as shown below for correct top of form (TOF) detection. Also, be sure the paper size is correctly selected in the WindowsTM driver.

A listing of media providers that supply paper with the Insert into printer specified form marker location can be found on the

Printrex web site (www.printrex.com). Most other media suppliers can supply compatibly marked forms provided they receive the marker specifications shown to

the right.

To perform self test, press and hold the PAPER ADVANCE button while turning on power. The PAPER ADVANCE button may be released after self test has started. In self test, the ERROR indicator lights and a printout of model, interface type, firmware version and other various test patterns is started. The test printout will stop after the last test pattern is printed and the printer will exit self test and return to normal operating mode.

There are times when it is useful to have the test pattern repeated. If the PAPER ADVANCE button is held while the first self test pattern is finishing, the printer will enter a repeating self test mode where the entire self test pattern is repeated until the unit is powered off.
