Reloading Paper - IBM 6400 - Model 008 B/W Line-matrix Printer Operator's Manual

Reloading Paper

Use this procedure when you run out of
paper during a print job. The following
steps allow you to reload paper without
having to reset the top-of-form. The last
sheet of the old paper supply is used to
line up the first sheet of the new paper
supply. This is especially useful when
printing forms, such as labels or
invoices.
Raise the printer cover. Raise
the forms thickness lever as far
as it will go.
Do not open the tractor doors or
remove the existing paper.
2
Press any key on the operator panel
except Form Feed to silence the alarm.
Pressing any key on the operator panel will
silence the alarm. Pressing the Form Feed
key will silence the alarm and cause the
paper to move. The top–of–form setting will
be lost.
3
On cabinet models, open the
cabinet front door.
4
Align the paper supply with the
label on the floor.
5
Ensure that the paper pulls
freely from the box.
