Low paper printing allows replenishing the forms supply without
losing data or forms registration.
This printer will print to the end of the current form or to the end of
the last form (end of paper) after sensing a low paper condition if the
form length corresponds with the active page length.
If the print job has been using reverse paper moves (backing
paper up while using bar codes, oversize, or vertical moves, do
not use the low paper printing feature. Once the paper runs out
of the lower tractors, poor print quality and jams will occur. A
form length of 12.5 inches or longer causes the printer to bypass
the low paper fault. The printer will go to a paper out condition.
When the paper supply runs down to approximately 12.5 inches
(32cm) remaining, the paper out sensor is activated. The alarm light
will flash and Paper Almost Out will display in the upper left corner of
the display.
1. Press the Clear key. Offline and Low Paper will be displayed in
the upper line of the display window and Menu will be displayed
in the lower line of the display window.
2. Press the On Line key and the printer will finish the remainder of
the current form and stop. Offline and Low Paper will be
displayed in the upper line of the display window and Status will
be displayed in the lower line of the display. The printer will finish
the remainder of the current form and stop.
3. The alarm light will flash and Paper Out will display in the upper
line of the display.
4. Replenish the paper supply in the printer. (See "Replenishing
Paper Supply for additional information.) The printer will finish
the job inside the printer buffer when the printer is replenished
with paper and back online with the appropriate form settings.
(See "Setting TOF" for additional information.)
