does not feed
properly.
When the LOAD/EJECT
button is pressed, the
platen does not rotate
and paper does not
feed.
When the LOAD/EJECT
button is pressed, the
platen rotates but
paper does not feed.
Solution
You may be trying to feed paper using the
control panel buttons while the printer is
on line (ON LINE light on). Press the ON
LINE button once to take the printer off
line, then try feeding paper. After feeding
paper, press the ON LINE button again to
set the printer on line. See Chapter 3.
The paper release lever may be pushed
back to the single-sheet position. When
using the push tractor, be sure the paper
release lever is pulled forward to the
continuous paper position. See Chapter 2.
Continuous paper may have already been
in the paper path. (In this case, the paper
feeds backward to the standby position.)
Press the LOAD/EJECT button again to load
the paper.
