l
When loading sprocket paper, never place the release lever in
either the "set" or "friction" position. You'll know when this
happens by the beep tone and the paper-out lamp glowing red.
Use the "tractor" setting at all times when loading or running
sprocket paper.
l
When you use multi-layer paper, such as a S-part carbonless
form, you should adjust the print head gap to fit the greater
paper thickness, as explained earlier in this chapter.
l
If paper should jam when loading sprocket paper, it's usually
because you forgot to put the bail lever in the open position (by
pulling it towards you). Best thing to do then is to turn the power
off, open the front cover, and roll the paper backwards by turn-
ing the platen knob.
l
If the printing is faint, first check the thickness adjustment lever,
then try a new ribbon. If it's still too faint, perhaps it's molly
'
time for a new print head.
