Uscn Manual
Low paper printing allows you to replenish the forms supply
without losing data or forms registration.
This printer will print to the end of the current form or to the end
of the last form (end of paper) after sensing a low paper condition.
Several option straps are used to control this operation and are
discussed on the next page.
Fault:Low Paper
When the paper supply runs down to 12. 5 inches (32cm)
remaining, the paper out sensor is activated. The printer will finish
the remainder of the current form and stop. The display will show
Fault:Low Paper
and the beeper will sound.
At this point. depending on form length. one or more unused forms
may remain below the print wires. You can either replenish the
paper supply now, or press the TEST/CLEAR pushbutton to
continue.
Important: If your print job has been using reverse paper moves
(backing paper up while using bar codes, oversize, or vertical
moves). stop at this point and replenish the paper supply. Once
the paper runs out of the lower tractors, poor print quality and
jams could occur.
Pressing the TEST /Cl.EAR pushbutton causes the printer to enter
the low paper printing mode. Toe remaining forms are printed at a
slower rate and the display shows Onllne:Low Print.
A form length of 12. 5 inches or longer causes the printer to
bypass the low paper fault. Toe printer will finish the last form
and immediately go to a paper out condition.
