Form Feed - IBM 6400 - Model 008 B/W Line-matrix Printer Operator's Manual

Form Feed

This key operates only in NOT
READY state. Press Stop to place
the printer in the NOT READY state.
(See page 14.)
In NOT READY state, press and
release to move paper to the
top-of-form on the next page.
If there is any data in the printer
buffer, it will print first, then the
paper will move to the next
top-of-form.
Pressing the Form Feed key in the
FAULT state will silence the alarm and
cause the paper to move. The
top-of-form setting will be lost.
The data that prints is all of the data
contained in the printer buffer. The data not
in the printer buffer is not affected.

the printer in the NOT READY state.
(See page 14.)
Unless there is data in the printer
buffer, this key sets the top-of-form
(TOF) by moving the paper down
to the print position and setting the
emulation to the top-of-form.
See the procedure on page 45 for
more information.
If there is data in the printer buffer
(such as after a paper jam), the
printer moves to the position where
printing stopped.
