Setting the Paper Select Lever
The paper select lever {Figure 3-2 on page 28} sets the GSX-190
for either continuous or single sheet paper. If you look closely at
the lever, you'll see what looks like a paper stack and single sheet
of paper embossed next to the lever. The lever is moved forward
{to the paper stack} for continuous paper and back {to the single
sheet} for single sheets:
Printing on Single Sheets
Single sheet feeding allows you to print on your company
letterhead as well as many other types of paper that are not
available as continuous paper. The GSX-190 can print on paper as
narrow as 7.2 inches and can print up to 8 inches wide on paper as
wide as 10.1 inches. Follow these steps:
1. Be sure the tractor is in the push position. {If not, follow the
installation instructions later in this chapter.}
If you already have continuous paper loaded, simply press the
PARK/LOAD key to back the paper out of the way. See "Paper
Parking" in this chapter for more information.
2. Install the paper guide in the upright position used for inserting
paper. See Figure 3-2. To do this, hold the paper guide so that
the two corner extensions point downward into the printer. Slide
the guide pins onto the L-shaped channel slot. At the same time,
position the paper guide forward slightly allowing the pins to
slip into the vertical channel. When installed correctly, the paper
guide sits in an upright position.
3. Change the paper select lever to the rear {single sheet} position.
To use the paper guide, simply move the left paper holder to the
left as far as it will go. This is the normal position, however, you
can adjust it according to the size of paper you will be using.
insert a sheet of paper and adjust the right paper holder to the
paper width.
