Setting the load position, tear off and top of form:

Before beginning, ensure that the following conditions are set:
The correct page length is set. (Check the page length with Setup Options, table 6-1 on page 6-16.)
Auto Tear Off is set to ON. (Check Auto Tear Off with Setup Options, table 6-2 on page 6-17.)
Continuous form paper is loaded in the printer. (See "Loading Continuous Forms" on page 5-8.)
The tractor unit is in the push tractor position. (See page 4-7 to install the push tractor.)
Set the load position for continuous forms:

When you load continuous form paper into the printer, the paper moves to the Load Position when you press Start/Stop, Form Feed, or Park/Load.

You can set the Load Position to be as much as 1 inch from the top of the paper. Do not set the load position to more than 1 inch from the top of the paper.

1. Turn the printer power on.
2. Place continuous form paper in the push tractor feed pins. The Paper Out light is blinking.
3. Press Form Feed to bring the paper to the current load position. The Paper Out light is off. The Ready light is blinking to indicate you are in the "Set Load Position" mode.
4. Press Micro Up or Micro Down to move the paper to the new Load Position. The Ready light is still blinking.
5. Press Start/Stop to save the new Load Position. The Ready light is on solid. In order to make sure that you have not attempted to set the Load Position outside of the legal range,
simply park the paper and reload it.
6. Press Alt then Park/Load.

Setting the load position for cut sheets:

When you insert cut sheets into the front of the printer, the paper moves to the Load Position if you have Auto CutSheet Load set to ON through the Set Up mode. If you have Auto Cut Sheet Load set to OFF, you will have to press Form Feed or Park/Load to move the paper to the Load Position. You can set the Load Position to be as much as 1 inch from the top of the paper. Do not set the load position to more than 1 inch from the top of the paper.

2. The Paper Out light is blinking.
3. Insert a cut sheet firmly into the printer through the manual feed door at the front of the printer.

5. Press Micro Up or Micro Down to move the paper to the new Load Position. The Ready light is still blinking.
6. Press Start/Stop to save the new Load Position. The Ready light is on solid. In order to make sure that you have not attempted to set the Load Position outside of the legal range, simply load another cut sheet.
7. Press Form Feed to eject current sheet.
8. Load another cut sheet, this is the new Load Position for cut sheets. If it is not where you set it, you may have attempted to set it outside of the 1" range.

Setting the tear off position:

The Tear Off Position is the position that the paper is placed to enable you to do a single handed "Rip-and-Run". This feature has also been called "Document-on-Demand". If you have Auto Tear Off set to on, the paper will automatically move to the Tear Off Position after each print job.

1. Turn the printer power on.
