2Press the CG&SC button, so that the fanfold paper is moved out of the paper path.

7If the sofiwarc has not done this for you, eject the paper by pressing the ‘:w?$%:‘button.

8Move the release lever to the front of the paper (m position) to select fanfold paper (engaging the fanfold sprockets).

You are now ready to start printing on fanfold paper again.

Short tear-off function

The short-tear-off function is handy when using fanfold paper. It ejects the paper so that the perforation is just above the transparent cover, allowing you tear it off without having to open up the printer. It then reverses the paper feed after you have tom off the paper, thereby starting printing at the top of the next form. This feature is especially useful if you are using pre-printed stationery (such as invoices, etc), which will not be printed all together.

To use the short tear-off function, press the %A&! button when the printer is on-line, and hold it down for a few seconds. When you release the button, the printer will go off-line, and the paper will move up a few inches, allowing you to tear off the form.
