Parking fanfold paper

It is not necessary to remove fanfold paper currently loaded in the printer in order to print on cut-sheet paper. Instead, simply use the following procedure to park the fanfold paper.

1.Press the control panel’s ON LINE button to put the printer off-line.

2.Press the control panel’s SET/PARK/EJECT button. The printer automatically reverse feeds the fanfold paper until it is no longer in contact with the platen, which is indicated by the printer beeping a number of times. Also, the control panel’s POWER indicator starts to flash because paper is not loaded.

You can now load cut-sheet paper into the printer using the procedures described in “Loading cut-sheet paper” on page 14.

2.Set the release lever to the fanfold position.

3.Press the SET/PARK/EJECT button to feed the paper to the starting position.
