APPENDIX D Miscellaneous Notes

Printing and Paper Feeding
1.
(1) Setting paper feed length
Since this printer employs a shuttle dot printing mechanism, printing
always keeps pace with paper feed operations. This means that paper
should be fed longer than the set value in order to implement an actual
print job when the set paper feed length is short.
For example, if line feed length is set to 6 dots (6/60 inches), a line
of 8 dots (8/60) inches) is fed. In Page Mode, however, this will not
be the case because all the print data sets will be buffered in memory
and printed at one time. Therefore, it is possible for print data to
be shifted by one dot and overlapped with other data.

2. Printing after reverse paper feed
After paper is fed in the reverse direction, the paper feed pitch may
not be correct for subsequent printing. Be sure to feed the paper one
line in the reverse direction and then feed it forward one line, before
resuming printing.
