cut sheets automatically. Work done on cut sheets looks better that done on computer paper, and you don’t have to tear the “perforations” off each sheet as you must with fan-fold paper.

The automatic sheet feeder feeds a new sheet automatically every time the printer receives or generates a form feed. Any time you wish, you can turn the auto-feed unit on and off by using control codes.

ISet print start position	1(ES0		CHR$(25)“T” n or “((T))”n

When the automatic sheet feeder is installed, you must set DIP switch 2-4 on to detect the paper-out condition.

In addition, the following functions are ignored when the automatic sheet feeder is installed:

Setting of the page length Top and bottom margins Vertical tab settings Reverse feed functions

When you want to change the print start position, try to use the (ESC) CHR$(25) “T” n command.

The value of n determines the print start position from the top

edge of the each page. For example,(ESC) CHR$(25) “T” “1” command determines to print from the top edge of the paper.

nReading a hex dump

The BASIC in some computers changes ASCII codes before they send them to the printer. If you run into problem because of this, try this hex dump to check the ASCII codes.

First turn off the printer. Hold down both the Paper Feed key and Quality key and turn on the printer, and run the following nroeram.
