contains codes that reset the printer to a default set of features. Otherwise, the printer might print
using features set for a previous job. The codes will override panel or menu settings. Check the
word processor's manual to see if the initialization string can be modified. If so, remove any codes
that interfere with the printer's settings.
The PRINT QUALITY, CHARACTER PITCH, and MODE switches do not work.
The Operator Panel Functions Item in the Printer Menu can be set to enable (FULL
OPERATION) or disable (LIMITED OPERATION) these features. If the printer is part
of a customized system or if it is used by different operators, a system manager may
be using this feature to maintain proper print settings.
To activate these switches, power OFF the printer. Press and hold the MODE switch while
powering ON the printer. Follow the normal menu procedures to set the Operator Panel
Functions Item to FULL OPERATION.
Static electricity causes the paper to stick.
In cold, dry weather, static charges can build up on continuous-form paper. This can make
the paper cling to the paper separator. If this problem occurs during high-volume printing
jobs, try moving the single sheet paper guides on the separator together so that the paper
rests on the guides rather than on the separator itself.
