9. Slide the edge guides (
➀
) to the middle of the paper guide
base. Then close the paper guide cover (
➁
).
Always close the printer cover before printing. The
printer does not print when the cover is open.
10. Turn on the printer. You may need to check and change the
printer driver settings. When the printer receives data, it
automatically loads the paper and starts printing. The
printed pages are fed over the paper guide toward the back
of the printer.
After you finish printing, follow the steps in the next section to
tear off your printed document. If the first printed line on your
page appears too high or low, you can change its position by
using the micro adjust feature as described in “Adjusting the
Top-of-Form Position” on page 21.
Never use the knob to adjust the top-of-form position
while the printer is turned on; this may damage the
printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position. The
knob can be used when the printer is turned off only.
Removing a printed document from the rear push
tractor
To remove the printed document, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the Tear Off/Bin lights are flashing. (This
indicates your paper is at the current tear-off position.) You
may need to press the
Tear Off/Bin
button to advance the
paper to the tear-off position.
2. Open the paper guide cover, and tear off the printed
document using the tear-off edge of the printer.
Never use the knob to adjust the tear-off position while
the printer is turned on; this may damage the printer or
cause it to lose the tear-off position. The knob can be
used when the printer is turned off only.
If the paper perforation is not properly aligned with the
tear-off edge, you can adjust the tear-off position using
the micro adjust feature as described in “Adjusting the
tear-off position” on page 22.
3. Close the paper guide cover.
4. To remove the remaining paper from the printer, press the
Load/Eject
button to feed the paper backward to the
standby position. Then open the tractor sprocket covers and
remove the paper.
When you resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the
paper back to the top-of-form position and starts printing.
Always tear off your printed document before you
press the
Load/Eject
button. Reverse feeding several
pages at a time may cause a paper jam.
