Loading And Parking Fanfold Forms - Star Micronics lC-10 User Manual

LOADING AND PARKING FANFOLD FORMS
Fanfold forms have holes along the sides and perforations between the
sheets. They are also called sprocket forms, punched forms, or just plain
"computer paper". This printer accepts forms up to 10" wide. Fanfold forms
are loaded, parked, and unparked as explained next.
1. Place a stack of fanfold paper behind and at least one page-length below
the printer.
2. Turn the printer's power OFF.
3. Set the release lever to the up position. If there is paper in the printer,
remove it. (Since the platen is released, you can just pull the paper out.)
4. Move the bail lever forward to open the bail.
5. Remove the paper guide and put it aside for the moment.
6. Remove the rear cover. Grip it by its front edge and lift upwards and
backwards as in Figure l-9.
Figure 7-9.
Opening the rear cover
7. Open the sprocket covers on the right and left sprocket units, as shown
in Figure l-10.
8. Flip the clamp levers down. This allows the two sprocket units to move
freely right and left so you can align them with the holes in the paper.
9. Insert the front edge of the paper over the paper detector lever and tuck
it in under the platen.
