To switch between the Ready and Not-Ready Modes

Press Power to switch the computer between being the Ready and Not- Ready Modes.

When the printer is in the Ready Mode, the READY indicator is lit and the printer can receive data from the computer. This means that you should make sure that the printer is in the Ready Mode whenever you are trying to print.

When the printer is in the Not-Ready Mode, the READY indicator flashes slowly, which means that the printer cannot receive any data.

Press PAPER once to manually feed a sheet of paper (page 41), bypassing the automatic sheet feeder. To feed paper from the automatic sheet feeder, press PAPER twice.

To eject single-sheet paper from the printer

When the printer is in Ready Mode (so the READY indicator is lit), press PAPER once to eject the paper from the printer.

When the printer is in Not-Ready Mode (so the READY indicator is bit lit), hold down PAPER to eject the paper from the printer.

To advance paper

While there is paper already in the printer, use Power to put the printer into the Not-Ready Mode (so the READY indicator is flashing slowly).

Press PAPER once to feed the paper one line.

To continuously feed the paper, hold down PAPER.
