Using Continuous Paper
6. Close the sprocket covers.
7.
Slide the right sprocket unit to a position where the paper is
straight and not wrinkled; then lock it in place.
8. To separate the incoming paper from the outgoing printed
paper, attach the paper guide in its flat position over the
printer and incoming paper. Then slide the edge guides to the
center of the paper’s width.
9.
Turn on the printer. The
POWER
and
PAPER OUT
lights come on.
10. Press the
LOAD/EJECT
button to feed paper to the loading
position.
11. Press the
ON LINE
button to set the printer on line.
The printer remembers the loading position and advances each
page to the same position. If you need to adjust the loading
position, use the micro-adjustment feature. See the section on
adjusting the loading position in Chapter
3.
CAUTION:
Use the platen knob only when the printer is
off and there is a paper-feeding problem, such as a paper
jam. Otherwise you may damage the printer or cause it
to lose track of the loading position.
Note:
Before you begin printing, be sure to check the page
length and skip-over-perforation settings, and readjust the
settings if necessary. See the sections on page length and skip-
over-perforation in Chapter
3.
