Unloading Continuous Forms
To unload continuous forms:
1. Make sure that the Paper Select lever is set to the continuous forms position.
2. Press the PARK button. The continuous forms paper is retracted to the park position. If the
paper cannot be retracted in one operation, continue to press the PARK button until the paper is
parked.
Note: The printer can retract continuous forms-paper by a
recommended maximum of 25.4 cm (11 inches) per operation.
3. To remove the paper, raise the Tractor Doors and lift out the paper.
Recovering from an Unexpected Unloading Operation
If you have accidentally pressed the PARK button, you can cancel this operation in two ways
only if this unexpected operation was unsuccessful (the paper was not actually parked, and the
Fault indicator is blinking).
•
Press the READY button.
The printer switches to the Ready state and the paper moves according to the setting of
the Set-Up option.
•
Press the FF/LOAD button.
The paper moves back to the place it was positioned before you pressed the PARK
button.
Automatic-Tear-Off Advancing
Your printer has a tear bar that allows you to tear off printed pages without wasting paper. The
tear bar is at the rear edge of the paper exit slot.
Your printer is factory-set for automatic tear-off. When a printing job ends (including a form feed
command), the bottom perforation of the last printed page is automatically positioned in front of
the tear bar. The printed page may now be pulled against the tear bar of the tope cover. You can
change the positioning delay from one to five seconds, using the Set-Up mode.
Using Single Sheets
This section describes how to load paper in the Single Sheet Paper Tray. The Single Sheet
Paper Tray allows paper to be loaded manually, one sheet at a time.
Loading a Single Sheet of Paper
To load a sheet of paper using the Single sheet Paper Tray:
1. Make sure that the printer is turned on. Check that tractor-fed continuous forms are
retracted to the park position. (For details, see the section, "Unloading Continuous
Forms," later in this chapter.)
