Operating Your Printer 2 -- 35
Cut-sheet feeder controls
The printer’s control switches also control the operation of the cut-sheet
feeder. The control switches, however, function only when the printer is
off-line or deselected (SELECT indicator is not lit).
Printing with the cut-sheet feeder
After the first sheet is inserted and the top of form is set, you can begin
printing with the cut-sheet feeder. Simply request a printout from your
word processing package as normal. When it receives the PRINT com-
mand, the printer starts printing on the inserted sheet until the amount of
lines that have been printed according to the appropriate page length, ejects
the printed page into the output tray, and inserts a new page. If a file is
several pages long, the printer ejects each printed page into the output
tray, inserts a new sheet from the hopper, then continues printing.
If you are printing program outputs using the cut sheet feeder, you must
include the cut-sheet feeder insert and eject commands. When the printer
receives the PRINT command, it inserts a sheet of paper and starts print-
ing. Each time the printer receives the cut-sheet feeder insert command, it
ejects the printed sheet then inserts a new sheet. Use the cutsheet feeder
eject command at the end of your program if you want the printer to eject
the printed sheet without inserting a new sheet. For further information
consult the programming section in this handbook.
If you want to eject a sheet of paper you can do it using the FORM FEED
button.
Note: Make sure that the page length the printer is set to is no greater than the page length
that your word processing system uses.
The action of the LINE FEED button varies according to the status of the
cut sheet feeder.
