On Line and Off Line Modes
When the printer is "on line"—its normal operating mode—it can
receive data from your computer and print. When the printer is "off
line," it stops printing and responds only to control-panel
instructions, such as moving the paper.
Parking Continuous Forms
When you turn on the printer, it brings the continuous paper to the
top-of-form position. {This is the first line of printing on a page.
See 'Top-of-Form Fine Adjustment" in Chapter 3 to change this
position.} After you print a document, the printer automatically
advances the paper forward to the tear-off position. {The paper is
positioned so the perforation is directly beneath the tear bar.}
The PARK/LOAD key lets you manually move the paper from the
top-of-form position, to the tear-off position, and to the park
position with a mere push of a k~r. When the printer is off line,
each press of the PARK/LOAD key moves the paper to another
position. The paper moves—in sequence-from top-of-form, to the
tear-off position, to the park position, back to the top-of-form
position, and so on.
