Chapter 4 PRINTER CONTROL

•Form Saver. Allows near demand printing for forms that do not have pre-printed headers or special application designs. At least one blank page is required to load the paper so that it does not slip out of the tractors. For shorter form lengths, two or more blank pages may be necessary. When you press VIEW/EJECT, the bottom of the printed page is slewed to the tear position. When pressed again, the paper moves to the top of the next printable page available. See “Demand Printing” on page 329 for detailed information on Form Saver.

•Out 3 Back 2. A page eject command moves to top-of-form three times then positions backward for two pages, giving the effect of a single page eject.

•Out 4 Back 2. A page eject command moves to top-of-form four times then positions backward for two pages, giving the effect of a single page eject.

•Disable. Prevents the use of the eject function.

Open Platen @ BOF (Bottom of Form)

Some special forms have perforation areas that are too thick to pass through the print station. This parameter, when enabled, opens and closes the platen when the perforations move across the platen. When enabling this parameter, you must set the forms length to match the physical distance between perforations.
