Paper Handling
This printer is designed for versatile and reliable paper handling. The
flat-bed mechanism allows the handling of special documents, such as
multiple invoices, postcards, labels, passbooks and tickets.
The print head detects the paper edges automatically, the sheet can
therefore be inserted in any position within the detection area
according to the rules described in the following paragraph.
The paper alignment sensors determine the alignment of the upper
paper margin, adjusting it if necessary.
Loading Paper
The inserted documents must not have folds, tears, pins, clips, staples
or any foreign material.
Pin
Staple
If you insert damaged documents or paper with foreign material,
you can seriously damage the printer.
Before inserting a passbook into the printer, open it and crease it in
both directions along the binding stitch, so that the passbook lays flat
on the paper stand when it is inserted into the printer.
The document may not exceed the limits of the paper stand.
Paper Problems
The straight paper path of this printer is designed for trouble-free
handling of a great variety of documents.
Paper Jam
In case a paper jam condition occurs, proceed as follows:
1. Open the printer cover. And rise
the upper mechanical frame as
explained in the chapter: Installing
the Ribbon Cartridge, page.
Remove the jammed paper, pulling
it towards the front of the printer.
2. To have an even better access to the paper path, unlock and rotate
down the Operator Panel Group. In case it is not possible to remove
the jammed paper because you cannot reach it with your hand or it
is embedded so that you cannot move it, rotate the paper belt to free
the paper.
