Caution: When using continuous paper, always make sure that the
edge guides are pushed together.
Close the printer cover and turn on the printer.
11.
12. Press the LOAD/EJECT button to feed the paper to the loading
position. The printer remembers this position and advances each
page to the same position.
13. Press the ON LINE button to put the printer on line so that it can
accept data.
If you find that your word processing or other application program
prints too high or too low on the page or is printing on the perforations,
check the loading position. If you need to adjust this position, you can
use the micro-adjustment feature. This feature gives you precise control
over the position of your paper by allowing you to feed the paper
forward or backward in 2/216-inch increments. For more information,
see the section on micro-adjustment later in this chapter.
When using continuous paper, you can also choose the short tear-off
feature to give you added paper handling capabilities. This feature
automatically feeds the paper forward so that you can tear it off at its
perforation. The printer then reverses the paper feed so you can resume
printing at the loading position. Short tear-off makes it easier to detach
printed pages and saves the blank pages that are usually lost between
printing jobs. See the section on short tear-off later in this chapter for
details.
WARNING: If you need to adjust the loading position,
always use the micro-adjustment feature. Never advance the
paper using the platen knob while the printer is turned on.
