Forms Tractor Unit
The forms tractor unit is required for printing
on continuous forms. The unit snaps into place
on top of the printer frame and can be removed
to use cut forms. The right tractor is adjustable
to handle forms from 3 inches to 15 inches (76.20
mm to 381.00 mm) wide. The left tractor can be
moved approximately one print position and is
used in conjunction with the horizontal fine
adjustment knob for proper positioning of print
position one on the forms.
Forms Mode Selector Switch
Document selection is controlled by a two-position
switch on the printer cover. When the switch is in
the continuous forms position, continuous forms
can be processed and the end-of-forms switch
senses the presence of forms in the printer.
When the switch is in the single form/ledger cards
position, cut forms can be processed and the end-
of-forms switch is inactive. In the single form/
ledger cards position, it is the operator's responsi-
bility to align the document at line 1 before press-
ing RESET. The RESET key then resets the at-
tachment line counter to 1. When the document
is complete, it is ejected by skipping to the last
line on the form and the print head is restored to
the left margin.
When using cut forms, the function keys have a
different usage:
•
LINE Key. This key operates as before except
that spacing is not executed past forms length
minus 3.
•
PR I NT Key. This key operates as before except
that printing terminates when the current line
equals the forms length minus 3.
•
RESET Key. The operator uses th is key to sig-
nal the system that the next form is loaded.
The line counter in the attachment is set to
line
1.
•
PAGE Key. This key is inoperative when using
cut forms.
