Check
Are you trying to feed paper
using the front panel buttons
while the ON LINE indicator
is illuminated?
Is the paper too thick?
Possible remedy
You can only feed paper in this way when the printer is
off-line. Set the printer off-line and then feed paper.
There are limits to the thickness of paper that can be fed
in this way (one top copy and two NCR copies). Try
with thinner paper.
If the ASF is not operating or is not feeding paper correctly, check the following: Check
Has the ASF option been
selected with the DIP
switch?
Is the release lever set to the
C position?
Possible remedy
Select this option
The release lever should be set to the single-sheet
position.
Is the ASF correctly
mounted?
Is paper caught up near the
print head?
Are the left and right guides
too close together?
Is there too much paper in the
paper feed hopper or stacker?
Was the paper fanned before
being fed into the ASF?
Has the paper been used al-
ready or is it creased?
Are you trying to feed paper
using the front panel buttons
while the ON LINE indicator
is illuminated?
Is the paper too thick or too
thin?
Make sure that the ASF is properly seated on the printer.
Stop printing, remove the jammed sheet (you may have
to remove the ASF for this), and continue.
If the left and right guides are too close together, the
paper will not feed smoothly. Move them a little further
apart to allow the paper to feed freely.
The ASF’s paper feed hopper and stacker can hold 120
sheets each. Make sure that there is no more paper than
this in either the hopper or stacker.
If this is not done, paper jams may occur. Remove the
stack of paper from the ASF and fan it before reinsert-
ing.
Only new, uncreased paper should be used with the
ASF.
You can only feed paper in this way when the printer is
off-line. Set the printer off-line and then feed paper.
There are limits to the thickness of paper that can be fed
in this way. Try with different paper.
