Selecting And Loading Forms; Selecting A Form Already Loaded In The Tractors; Loading A New Or Different Form In The Tractors - Printek FormsMaster 8000 Operator's Manual

SELECTING AND LOADING FORMS

Note: A form is not considered "loaded" by merely placing the
form in the tractors. To prevent printing on the wrong form,
the printer must be made aware of what form(s) are currently
loaded. When a new form is placed in the tractors, the form
must be "loaded" using the control panel as described in the
next section, "Loading a Different Form in the Tractors".

Selecting a Form Already Loaded in the Tractors

To select a form that is already loaded in the tractors, take the printer off line
and press the FORM SELECT button until that form is displayed (a form that
is not considered to be loaded will flash
the display). The form selection will be displayed as
or as the actual name of the form if that has been set up.
FORM 9
To position the form for printing, you may press the FORM FEED button
which will position the form, or you may press the ONLINE button which
will both position the form and place the printer on line.

Loading a New or Different Form In the Tractors

This section describes how to "load" a form in the tractors. This involves
physically placing the paper or form in the tractor mechanism and then
informing the printer that the new form is present.
Select the Form to be Loaded
1. Take the printer off line by pressing the ONLINE button.

2. Press the FORM SELECT/UNLOAD button. This will move the current
form from the print position down to the tractors for removal. In the
case of the FormsMaster 8003 this will also move the shuttle forward
for easy access to all tractor paths.
