You can use the GAP ADJUST button to adjust the paper thickness manually.
Page 69: Using Continuous Forms
PAPER HANDLING USING Continuous forms paper, fanfolded at the horizontal perforations, is ideal for printing rough drafts and long files. The paper is fed into the printer CONTINUOUS using the forms tractors. FORMS Positioning the Paper Stack Place the stack of continuous forms paper directly below the rear of the printer or below the front of the printer.
Page 70: Loading Continuous Forms (Front Feed)
PAPER HANDLING Loading Continuous Forms (Front Feed) This section explains how to use continuous forms as the tractor unit is installed at the front of the printer. The tractor unit pushes continuous forms. This condition applies when you first purchase the printer. Up to 8-ply media can be fed by the front tractor unit.
Page 71 PAPER HANDLING 6. Adjust the left margin. Below the left tractor, there is a tractor guide, short inch-based ruler graduated in 10 columns per inch. Use the ruler to help position the tractor. When the paper edge is positioned to the zero line, the left margin is 12 mm (0.5 inch) including perforation area and the arrow indicates the location of the first character.
Page 72 PAPER HANDLING CAUTION • Before lowering the paper table, make sure that the paper holders are closed. If the holders are opened, they may cause damage to the tractors and the paper table. • Make sure that the paper table is positioned to its normal mode. If it is not done, jamming may occur when continuous forms paper is fed.
Page 73: Loading Continuous Forms (Rear Feed)
PAPER HANDLING Loading Continuous Forms (Rear Feed) A tractor is supplied as standard and is attached to the front of the printer. It can be attached to the rear of the printer. You can also buy a tractor unit as an additional rear tractor unit. A maximum of 8-ply media can be fed from the rear tractor unit.
Page 74 PAPER HANDLING 4. Adjust the left margin. Below the left tractor, there is a tractor guide, short inch-based ruler graduated in 10 columns per inch. Use the ruler to help position the tractor. When the paper edge is positioned to the zero line, the left margin is 12 mm (0.5 inch) including perforation area and the arrow indicates the location of the first character.

Page 77: Using Single Sheets
PAPER HANDLING USING SINGLE This section describes how to load paper from the paper table or cut sheet feeder. The paper table allows paper to be loaded manually, one sheet at SHEETS a time. A cut sheet feeder allows paper to be loaded automatically from the paper bin.
Page 78 PAPER HANDLING Preparing to load a sheet of paper Loading a sheet of paper 6. Insert a sheet of paper into the paper table. Make sure that the front edge of the paper engages snugly with the feed roller. NOTE If paper skews when it is loaded, the printer does not print and ejects the paper.
Page 79: Loading Paper From The Cut Sheet Feeder
PAPER HANDLING Loading Paper from the Cut Sheet Feeder (Option) A cut sheet feeder (SF940) allows automatic printing on single sheets without the need to manually insert the sheets one-by-one. This can save you a lot of time when printing long files using single sheets. See Chapter 8 for more information on the cut sheet feeder.
Page 80 PAPER HANDLING • Slide the right paper guide until the distance between the two guides is the approximate width of your paper. 3.

Page 245 APPENDIX D INTERFACE INFORMATION INTERFACE INFORMATION This printer can communicate with a computer through a Centronics parallel interface, a RS-232C serial interface, a USB interface, or a LAN interface. You can specify the interface selection mode so that the printer uses which interface or it can automatically select the interface from which it first receives data.
Page 246: Compatible Mode
INTERFACE INFORMATION Compatible Mode Return Signal Name Direction Description Pin No. Data Strobe Input This signal is a strobe (DSTB) pulse for reading data (Data 1 to 8). The printer reads data when this signal is low. The pulse width must be 1 µs or more at the receiving terminal.

Page 248: Nibble Mode
INTERFACE INFORMATION Nibble Mode Pin numbers 2 to 9, 15 to 31, and 33 to 35 are the same as the conventional mode. Return Signal Name Direction Description Pin No. Host Clock Input This signal is set high when the host requests the reverse data transfer phase (nibble mode).
Page 249 INTERFACE INFORMATION Return Signal Name Direction Description Pin No. − Host Busy Input Reverse data transfer phase: This signal is set low when the host can receive data, and goes high when the host has received data. Following a reverse data transfer, the interface enters the reverse idle phase when the Host Busy...
Page 250: Data Transmission Timing
INTERFACE INFORMATION Data Transmission Timing In unidirectional mode (conventional Centronics interface), this printer guarantees the received data when the Data and Data Strobe signals from the computer have the following timing with respect to the Busy and Acknowledge signals from the printer. T1, T2, T3 >...
Page 251: Serial Interface
INTERFACE INFORMATION RS-232C is the standard serial interface for data terminal equipment. The SERIAL INTERFACE cable connector at the printer side should be a D-subminiature Cannon or Cinch DB-25P male connector or equivalent that conforms to EIA standards. The table that follows shows the pin assignments commonly used by most computers.
Page 252: Serial Options
INTERFACE INFORMATION Serial Options The serial options for the computer and the printer must match. Use the printer control panel, the computer operating system, or your software to change options specified as “selectable.” Transmission mode: Asynchronous, full duplex, or half duplex (selectable) Speed: 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or...
Page 253 INTERFACE INFORMATION # indicates an open wire. Wire q is unnecessary for the DTR (or RC) protocol. Some computers may not require wire w. DSR-enabled control enables communication using an RS-232C interface. The CTS and DSR input control signals are enabled; CD is ignored.
Page 254: Serial Protocols
INTERFACE INFORMATION Serial Protocols A protocol is a set of instructions that control the way data is transmitted between devices such as a computer and printer. The protocol ensures that the computer does not send information to the printer faster than the information can be processed.
Page 255: Usb Interface
