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.
When the VIEW/EJECT key is pressed, 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 has the intelligence to keep form loss to a minimum.
Long Form Example:
The user loads paper and sets Top of Form.
Hence, the printer is ready to print at the first line.
