1.3.13.1 Using the Paper Memory Feature

This printer can save the paper format and thickness information for up to two multi-part forms in the
printer's paper memory areas. This information for a certain form may be recalled and the printer
automatically adjusts the gap between the printhead and the platen to provide maximum printing quality
on that particular form. The paper memory feature is available only for forms loaded on the front tractor.
When using multi-part forms that vary in thickness, do not press the TEAR OFF, FRONT/REAR, or
reverse-feeding MICRO FEED switch or a paper jam may result.
To remove these forms, tear off the fresh forms off line and then press the FORM FEED or LINE FEED
switch to eject the remaining forms.
