Selecting And Loading Forms
Note: A form is not considered “loaded” by merely placing the
form in the tractors. To prevent printing on the wrong
form, the printer must be made aware of what form(s)
are currently loaded. When a new form is placed in the
tractors, the form must be “loaded” using the control
panel as described in the next section, “Loading a
Different Form in the Tractors”.
Selecting a Form Already Loaded In the Tractors
To select a form that is already loaded in the tractors, take the printer off
line and press the
FORM SELECT
button until that form is displayed (a form
that is not considered to be loaded will flash
Not Loaded
on the bottom
line of the display). The form selection will be displayed as
FORM 0
through
FORM 9
or as the actual name of the form if that has been set up.
To position the form for printing, you may press the
FORM FEED
button,
which will position the form, or you may press the
ONLINE
button, which
will both position the form and place the printer on line.
Loading a New or Different Form In the Tractors
This section describes how to “load” a form in the tractors. This involves
physically placing the paper or form in the tractor mechanism and then
informing the printer that the new form is present.
Select the Form to be Loaded
1. Take the printer off line by pressing the
ONLINE
button. The
ONLINE
green indicator would now be turned off.
2. Press the
UNLOAD/FORM SELECT
button. This will move the
current form from the print position down to the tractors for
removal.
