Changing the auto load position 25
Changing the auto load position
Normally the printer automatically feeds paper to a standard position (1/6-inch
from the top of the paper). This is called the auto load position. You can use the
following procedure to specify a different auto load position.
❏Make sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).
❏While holding down ON LINE, press PITCH and then release the two
buttons.
The printer will automatically eject the cut-sheet that is in the printer, or
reverse feed fanfold paper until it is no longer in contact with the platen.
Also, all the font and pitch indicators on the control panel will light.
❏Press PITCH to feed the paper to the starting position.
❏Feed the paper so the print head is located where you want the new auto
load position to be.
Press PAPER FEED to feed the paper forward and PARK/SET/EJECT to
feed the paper backward. This is the micro feed operation.
❏After you have the paper at the position you want, hold down ON LINE
and press PAPER FEED to make the current print head position the new
auto load position. The printer will beep twice to indicate that the new auto
load position is set.
❏To clear the new auto load position and return to the one that you set
previously (using the above procedure), press ON LINE. To clear the
currently set auto load position and return to the standard position (1/6-inch
from the top of the paper), hold down ON LINE and press PITCH.
Note:
The auto load position you set remains in effect until you turn the printer off. If
you want to save the auto load position in memory, press PARK/SET/EJECT
instead of PAPER FEED while holding down ON LINE in the above step.
