5. Lower the forms thickness lever. The CLOSE PLATEN fault clears
automatically.
6. Set it to match the paper thickness. If you are using single–part forms, set
the forms thickness lever so that “A” is next to the indicator (refer to the
note on the shuttle cover).
NOTE: Do not set the forms thickness lever too tightly; excessive friction can
cause paper jams and ribbon jams with potential for ribbon damage,
smeared ink, or wavy print.
7. Press Set Top of Form. The paper moves downward to the top-of-form
print position.
Test The Printer
To run an initial printer test, print the current configuration page. See “Printing
The Current Configuration” on page 85.
On the configuration printout, examine the print quality of the characters. They
should be fully formed and of uniform density. If text characters do not appear
correctly formed or if the test does not run, contact your IBM service
representative.
The printer is now ready for configuration. Refer to Chapter 3, “Configuring
the Printer” for more information.
