Paper feeding
If cut sheet paper (without the ASF) is not feeding smoothly, check the
following:
1 Check
1 Possible remedv
Is the paper release
lever
pushed back (to the C posi-
tion)?
Is the paper guide in place
and vertical?
Are the left and right guides
too close together?
Is the ASF selected with the
DIP switch settings?
Are you trying to feed paper
using the front panel buttons
while the ON LINE indicator
is illuminated?
Set the release lever to the c
position.
The paper guide should be in place vertically for cut
sheets to feed smoothly.
If the left and right guides are too close together, the
paper will not feed smoothly. Move them a little further
apart to allow the paper to feed freely.
If it is, then deselect it.
You can only feed paper in this way when the printer is
off-line. Set the printer off-line and then feed paper.
Is the paper too thick?
There are limits to the thickness of paper that can be fed
in this way. Try with thinner paper.
If fanfold (continuous) paper is not being fed correctly using the tractor feed,
check the following:
Check
Is the paper lever pushed to
the & position?
Is the paper guide in the ver-
tical position?
Are the holes on each side of
the paper aligned with regard
to each other in the sprock-
ets?
Is the paper feeding freely
into the printer?
Possible remedv
Make sure the release lever is pushed to the 6
posi-
tion.
When using the tractor feed, the paper guide should be
horizontal.
If the two sides of the paper are out of alignment, realign
them so that the sprocket holes match up.
Misalignment
of the sprockets, making the paper too
loose or too'tight, will prevent a smooth paper feed.
The paper should not be too far from the printer (less
than 1 meter/ 3 feet), and there should be no cables or
also be feeding straight into the printer, and an angled
