3.Tear off the printed form at the last perforation, leaving not more than about half a page showing above the top cover. If necessary, press the Paper Feed switch to feed paper forward until a perforation is located just above the top cover, and tear there.

4.Press the Print Pitch switch on the control panel and hold it down.

5.Still holding the Print Pitch switch down, press the Paper Feed switch. The printer will automatically feed the fanfold form backward until the paper is completely free of the platen.

6.Move the release lever to the down position.

7.Mount the paper guide in the upright position.

Now you can load single sheets either semiautomatically or manually, as explained previously. The fanfold paper remains parked at the back of the printer.

When you want to resume using fanfold paper, the procedure is as follows.

Paper unparking

1.Remove all single sheets from the printer and close the paper bail.

2.Mount the paper guide in the horizontal position.

3.Move the release lever to the up position.

4.With power ON, move the bail lever forward. The printer will auto- matically feed the parked fanfold paper into position for printing.

5.Move the bail lever back to close the bail. Now you are ready to print.

TEST PRINTING

After loading paper, you can test the printer as described next.

Short self test

This procedure prints a six-line “barber-pole” test pattern. The lines are eight inches wide, so the paper should be at least that wide.

1.Check that paper is in position for printing.

2.With power off, press the On Line switch on the control panel and hold it down.

3.Still holding the On Line switch down, turn the printer’s power on.

The printer will automatically start printing its short test pattern. You can release the On Line switch after printing starts. To remove the paper at the end of the test, switch power OFF, then turn the platen knob. (Don’t turn the platen knob while power is on.)
