Form Saver Mode

Form Saver Mode
The Form Saver Mode does not require any special forms or
applications. Instead, the printer determines the proper motion to
allow demand printing with the least amount of lost forms. Only the
form length needs to be set. To activate Form Save Mode, see
page -188.
When the VIEW/EJECT key is pressed for more than 1/2 second in
offline mode, the printer slews the bottom of the last printed form to
the tear position. When the VIEW/EJECT is pressed a second time,
the paper reverses to the top of the first possible form available for
printing.
This mode may act differently depending on the form length. In all
cases, the printer keeps form loss to a minimum. Figure 16 shows
an example using long forms, and Figure 17 shows an example
using short forms.
