Appendix A Configuration of the printer
A-12

PERFORATION SKIP

If PERF. SKIP is set to YES the printer starts to print after specified top margin and stops
printing before the bottom Margin.

If PERF. SKIP is set to NO the printer ignored the top and bottom margin and prints from the
very first line to the very last. That means that on a standard 11" paper 66 lines are available
for printing.

Overlapping YES means lift up the print head by passing perfpration.

PAPER SOURCE
The printer offers three input possibilities:

TRACTOR (fanfold paper)

MANUAL (for the Fanfold Printer optional)

ASF Cassettes (optional only for the Multi-purpose Printer), they either can be accessed
individually or pooled in a specified sequence. Any combination or cassettes can be
selected (for detail the chapter 5 ASF Cassettes).

A corrective factor for the vertical positioning of the paper can be applied to each paper source
and the Run-In-Sensor (see section VERT.POS.ADJ.).
Note:
Please refer to chapter 6, Technical Data, for detailed media specifications.

PAPER EXIT (only for single sheet paper)
Fanfold Printer:
the output will be done in the manual input path. It is possible to choose between FRONT/KEY
and FRONT if the manual front insertion guide is mounted.
Multi-purpose Printer:
it is possible to choose between STACKER, FRONT, and FRONT/KEY (manual front insertion).
The desired paper exit can be selected via operator panel or software.
Note:
If you choose the paper exit FRONT SIDE/KEY you have to confirm each output with a
keystroke on. That is a useful option when using automatic sheet feeding which could cause
a paper jam. As opposed to feeding automatically the ASF will only feed after a keystroke has been
received.
