Controlling the paper position

There are a number of ways in which you can adjust the position of the paper in the printer. You can feed paper through a line at a time (paper feed), eject the current page (form feed) and feed the paper forwards and back- wards in very small steps (forward and reverse micro feed). You can also adjust the top-of-form position (the position at which printing starts on each new page). You can set separate top-of-form positions for single sheets and fanfold paper.

Paper feed

To feed the paper through the printer a line at a time, put the printer in not-ready mode by pressing the

[m]key. Then, press the (PAPER] key.

Form feed

A form feed operation feeds paper through the printer so that the print head is positioned ready to resume print- ing at the top-of-form position on the next page. If you are using single sheets of paper, this operation will sim- ply eject the current page. If you are using continuous fanfold paper, the paper is fed through so that printing can continue from the top of the next sheet.

To perform a form feed operation, put the printer in not- ready mode by pressing the [READY]key, and then hold down the [PAPER] key. The printer will start feeding the paper through one line at a time. Keep holding the (PAPER] key down and press the (READY)key again, then release both keys at the same time. The printer now per- forms a form feed.

Forward micro feed

To feed the paper through the printer in small steps, first put the printer in not-ready mode. Hold down the [3FiF] key and press the (PAPER) key. Each time you press the (PAPER] key, the paper is advanced by a small amount.
