You may also make this change through a software com-
mand. The instructions for using this method are located
in the following place in this user's guide:

Form Feed Command
Your laser printer is a "page printer" (instead of a "line"
printer). A page printer gathers in all the data that is sent
from the computer and stores it in an area called "page
description memory." When the printer senses that this
area is full, it prints the data. Once the printer senses
that this area is full, no changes to the "description"
of the page can be made (i.e., current font, paper
source, orientation, etc.).
If
the data sent to the printer does not fill up the page de-
scription memory, the printer will show
P A
in its display
window and will wait until one of the following happens:
• More data is received and the page description mem-
ory is filled.
• A command signal to print whatever is stored in page
description memory is received.
The command signal to print whatever is stored in page
description memory is the form feed command. If your
word processor or software package does not attach a form
feed command to the end of every file, the last page of
some files may not be ejected from the printer (not enough
data to fill page description memory). If you do not eject
this data from the memory area,
it
will be printed on the
first page of the next file you send.
If
the printer has not received the form feed command,
changes to the page description memory may be made.
