If you do not wish to finish printing this line/form, you may force the printer to delete this
partial line from its buffer by pressing and holding the UNLOAD/FORM SELECT button
through the following series of messages. When the printer displays “Finish Printing!”,
continue to hold the button. After two seconds the printer will display “Cancel Printing?”.
Continue to hold the button for two more seconds and the printer will display “Print
Canceled”. Now release the button and you may change the paper, or you may press the
FORM SELECT button to select another form.
HANDLING A PAPER ERROR CONDITION
Paper errors may be caused by either a paper out or a paper jam. The printer will deal with a
paper error condition in one of two ways. The factory default method is described below
under “Standard Paper Out Handling”. For a description of how paper errors are handled
when Page Reprint is enabled, refer to “Handling Paper Errors With Page Reprint Enabled”
in the “ Page Reprint” section that follows.
Standard Paper Error Handling
The standard way of dealing with a paper error is that printing will stop and the printer will
go off line as soon as a paper error condition is detected. In the case of paper out, the paper
will be ejected from the tractors. Printing will continue at the top of the next form when it is
loaded.
PAGE REPRINT
Page Reprint is a feature which may be used to reprint a page in its entirety after a paper error
occurs, rather than just resuming printing as described above. This may be used when you
are printing on preprinted forms to prevent splitting one form's data onto two separate pages.
Please read through all of the following topics concerning Page Reprint to make sure you
wish to use it before you enable it.
Enabling Page Reprint
To enable page reprint, first take the printer off-line. Press and hold the SETUP button until
“Setup: INTERFACE” is displayed. Then press the FUNCTION UP button until “Fault:” is
displayed. Now press a VALUE button to select “Reprint Pg”. You must now set the page
size as described below.
Setting the Reprint Page Size
After you select reprint page, press the FUNCTION UP button to display “Page Size:”.
Before you use the VALUE buttons to select the page size, please read the following
discussion, which describes the available values.
