PAPER FEED button

If you press this button in off-line, the paper feeds forward. If you hold this button down, the printer performs consecutive line feeds.

While you are feeding lines, if you also press the ( ON LINE > button, the paper will feed to the top of the next page. This is explained later.

If you press this button in on-line, this will alternately illuminate and extinguish the QUIET indicator. When in Quiet mode with the QUIET indicator illuminating, the printer will print slightly slower, but at a reduced noise level.

SET/EJECT PARK button

Pressing this button causes the printer to execute paper loading if the paper has not loaded while in the off-line state.

If the paper has been loaded, this button causes the printer in different functions depending on the release lever position.

If the release lever is set to the upward position for the fanfold forms, this button operates to park the fanfold forms to the backward position.

If the release lever is set to the downward position for the single sheets, pressing this button ejects the paper.

This button has no effect if the optional pull tractor unit is mounted.
