Paper Feed switch

This switch operates only when the printer is off-line. If you press it once the paper feeds forward by one line. If you hold this switch down, the printer performs consecutive line feeds.

While you are feeding lines, if you also press the On Line switch, the paper will feed to the top of the next page. This is explained later.

When power is on, always use the Paper Feed switch instead of the platen knob to feed paper. Turn the platen knob only when power is off.
