Automatic Paper Loading is used to consistently set the print start position when using cut-sheet or
continuous sheet paper. The procedure is listed below.
Cut-Sheet Paper
1. Push the Paper Release Lever to the Cut-Sheet position.
2. Insert the paper from behind the platen.
3. Press the FORM FEED switch.
4. The Paper Bail will automatically open.
5. The Line Feed operation will load the paper.
6. The Paper Bail will automatically close.
NOTE: If the paper does not move, the Auto-Load motion becomes invalid and is treated like an ordinary
paper-end.
Continuous Sheet (Rear Feed) SASF
1. Push the Paper Release Lever to the Continuous Sheet side (front of printer).
2. Insert the paper into the push tractor. The white guide line on the tractor MUST be visible.
3. Press the FORM FEED switch.

NOTE: If the paper does not advance after the line feed motor has fed the equivalent of 2.4 inches of
paper, the Auto-Load process stops. This situation is treated like an ordinary paper-end condition.
