5050/5100 User's Manual
This printer is designed to use edge-punched (sprocket, or pin-fed)
fanfold paper. See "Paper Specifications" in Appendix B for further
description of the types of paper that can be used in the printer.
Printing without paper or using paper too narrow for the job may
damage printer components and void the printer warranty. Full-
width paper (greater than 14 5/8-inch or 371cm) should be used
until the operator is familiar with the printer's setup and
operation.
To load paper in the printer, complete the following steps:
1. Raise the top cover to the open position. On 5050/5100 (55 or 60
dBa) Cabinet Model printers, press the front latch to unlock the
cover. See Figure 2-13.

2. Turn the print gap wheel to the LOAD position by pushing the top
of the wheel towards the rear of the printer until it stops. See
Figure 2-14.
If the power has been applied to the printer, the fault messages
Paper Out and Strikr Bar Open will appear on the display panel and
the beeper will sound. These will alternately display in the upper
left corner of the display panel until the CLEAR key is pressed
after the paper has been loaded and the gap wheel positioned to
within the normal operating zone.
