Star Micronics NL-10 14, To align paper that is not in straight

The paper bail holds the paper against the platen according to the setting of the

release lever. The bail is opened when the release lever is in the top position,

closed when the lever is in the second or third positions, and opened by the printer

when the lever is in the bottom position.

Loading single sheets

Now, instead of feeding the paper in manually by turning the platen knob, we’re

going to use the release lever (the printer must be turned on). Remember what we

told you about this lever? It allows you to advance the paper according to its

position.

OK? Let’s start.

1. Flip the clamp levers backward and remove the sprockets on the tractor

feed unit all the way to the ends.

2. Slide the sheet guide all the way to the right.

3. With the ribs of the paper guide toward you and the sliding adjuster at the

bottom left, insert the guide into the slot at the back of the printer cover.

4. Insert the guide stand in the notches provided for it and use it to prop up

the paper guide.

5. Position the adjuster at the triangle marked on the guide for standard

margins, or set it according to your requirements.

6. Set the release lever for single sheets

the second position from the top.

7. Align a sheet of paper on the guide along the adjuster.

8. Turn on the power switch. (The Power indicator will blink because there

is no paper.)

9. Now set the release lever to the auto-feed setting

the top position. The

printer will advance the paper automatically.

10.When the paper stops, set the release lever for single sheets again.
