Problem
Continuous paper
does not feed
properly
(continued).
The paper feed is
crooked or the paper
jams (continued).
Regular gaps occur in
the printout.
Solution
The sprocket lock levers may be
unlocked, or the sprocket covers may be
open. Position the sprocket units to match
the width of your paper. Then, lock them
in place by pressing the sprocket lock
levers away from you. See Chapter 2.
The paper guide may be in the upright
position. When using continuous paper,
make sure that the paper guide is in the
lowered position so that it can act as a
paper separator. See Chapter 2.
The paper thickness lever may be in the
wrong position. For printing on ordinary
paper, always set the lever to position 2.
The paper dimensions may exceed the
specified limits. Use only paper sizes that
are within the specified range. Your
printer can print on continuous multi-part
forms consisting of 1 original and 3
copies. See Chapter 8.
Skip over perforation may be interfering
with your application program settings.
Set DIP switch l-8 to off. If your program
allows you to use control codes, you can
use ESC 0 to cancel skip over perforation.
