USING CONTINUOUS
FORMS
3-12
8. Load paper to the top-of-form position using either of the
following methods:
• Load the paper manually. Press the LOAD button. The paper
will advance to the top-of-form position. Adjust the position
of the paper as needed by simultaneously pressing the
ONLINE button and the LF/FF button or the TEAR OFF
button (micro feed).
• Load the paper using your software. Press the ONLINE button
to place the printer online. Load paper according to the
instructions in your software documentation. Most software
packages load paper automatically.
9. Place the printer online. Print a sample page and check the
page margins. Make the following adjustments, as necessary:
• Horizontal alignment. Readjust the paper guides if required.
• Top-of-form setting (see Chapter 5).
• Margin settings. Use your software or the printer setup
mode (see Chapter 5).
Ejecting Single Sheets
If you print using software, each sheet is ejected automatically when
the end of the printed page is reached. To manually eject sheets of
paper, use either of the following methods:
• Press and hold down the LF/FF button to execute a forward
form feed.
• Turn the platen knob clockwise.
Continuous forms paper, fanfolded at the horizontal perforations, is
ideal for printing rough drafts and long files. The paper is fed into the
printer using the forms tractors. If the forms tractors unit is mounted
at the rear of the printer, it pushes paper from the rear to the platen.
This is called push-tractor feeding. If the forms tractor unit is mounted
at the top of the printer, it pulls paper from the bottom or rear of the
printer to the platen. This is called pull-tractor feeding.
