Paper Control Menu

•With roll-feed paper, the printer cannot separate the paper because there are no perforations. Burst on Eject must be set to Disable. The perforations separator is not used, and paper is never rolled back out of the engine. If you need to remove the paper before the entire roll is used, it must be manually removed.

When Burst on Eject is disabled, note the following effects:

•PAGE EJECT: When you press PAGE EJECT or send a ~PAGE EJECT command, the paper is not separated and is not rolled back into the printer. Instead, enough forms are inserted to fuse and move all pages physically out of the printer. The exact distance depends on the current Paper Length selection. The paper moves a minimum of 25.5 inches.

Note that the printer uses Paper Length and not Form Length for paper motion. If the current Form Length is not a multiple of 1/6 inch, the exact distance the paper is moved is not a multiple of the form size. When using a preprinted roll-feed form, the physical top-of-form may be lost.

•FORM SIZE CHANGE: A form size change operates the same as pressing the PAGE EJECT key. Instead of separating the form, enough form feeds are inserted to move the printed pages out of the printer.

Note also that when you load a configuration having a different Paper Length, the same operation occurs: the printer sends form feeds rather than cutting the page and reverse-feeding it out of the printer.

•FAULT HANDLING: In normal operation, roll-fed paper is not removed from the printer. However, after a fault that requires reprinting (such as a paper jam), you must remove the paper and reseat it in the tractors. The control panel indicates when this is necessary.

•BOOT: When powering on, the printer does not cut the paper in the printer or roll it back out of the printer.
