Setting Up
Pull the tear-off bar away from the platen, so the paper is fed
between it and the platen. Make sure the paper is even, then
push the tear-off bar against the platen.
Close the paper release lever (position C =close) and raise
the paper guide.
Move
the paper to where you want the printing to start by
turning the platen knob away from you.
Replace the access cover.
Step back and admire your work, then go to page 21 for
the next
steps.

Load paper
:
B. Microline 93
Since the self test on the Microline 93 is printed over the
entire width of the platen, you must use 16" wide (or 132
column) paper. Otherwise the printhead or the platen could
be damaged
.
For this local print or self test, you can skip the installation
of the tractor unit and simply insert one sheet of sprocket
paper
.
Now you'll be feeding the sprocket paper by friction
instead of by the tractor unit. Refer to Figure 1-1 0
.
(For continuous printing on sprocket paper, however, we
recommend installing the tractor feed unit first as described
on page 46 .)
Here's what you do:
Set the head-gap adjusting lever to position
1,
and unlock the
paper release lever (position 0 =open).
Insert the paper from the rear of the platen as you would
insert paper in a typewriter, and push the paper through
unt
il it reaches the front of the platen.
