Product Description
PITCH: Selects a character pitch of 10, 12, or 17 cpi.
PAPER SELECT: Selects the front or rear paper path. If there is paper in the current path
and the printer is in pause mode, the paper is fed backward to the
tractor. Then, the selected paper from the other tractor is fed to the TOF
position. If all the paper in the current path is not fed backward to the
tractor by the single 22-inch
backward feeding sequence, make
sure your previous print job is torn off and press the PAPER SELECT
button again until the current path is empty.
