LOADING AND PARKING FANFOLD FORMS

Fanfold forms have holes along the sides and perforations between the sheets. They are also called sprocket forms, punched forms, or just plain “computer paper”. This printer accepts forms up to 10” wide. Fanfold forms are loaded, parked, and unparked as explained next.

1.Place a stack of fanfold paper behind and at least one page-length below the printer.

2.Turn the printer’s power OFF.

3.Set the release lever to the up position. If there is paper in the printer, remove it. (Since the platen is released, you can just pull the paper out.)

4.Move the bail lever forward to open the bail.

5.Remove the paper guide and put it aside for the moment.

6.Remove the rear cover. Grip it by its front edge and lift upwards and backwards as in Figure l-9.

7.Open the sprocket covers on the right and left sprocket units, as shown in Figure l-10.

8.Flip the clamp levers down. This allows the two sprocket units to move freely right and left so you can align them with the holes in the paper.

9.Insert the front edge of the paper over the paper detector lever and tuck it in under the platen.
