Procedure:
Procedure
1.
If you are loading forms that are the same as the forms that were last used on
the printer, no action is required. Go to “Starting the Auto Load sequence.”
Otherwise, continue to the next step.
2. For the Auto Load sequence to execute properly, you must set the forms length
on the stacker control panel to match the folding length of the forms you are
loading.
a. Set the FORMS LENGTH as follows:
v For forms that are 7 inches or greater - set the forms length to the actual
length of the form.
v
For forms that are 3-1/2 to 6-2/3 inches - set the forms length to two
times the actual length of the form.
v
For forms that are 3 or 3-1/3 inches - set the forms length to three times
the length of the actual form (at the perforation to perforation distance)
as it is folded before printing.
b. Press the FORMS LENGTH key to increase or decrease the form length
(see “About the stacker control panel” on page 25).
Note: The forms length value entered here is the form length as measured
from fold perforation to fold perforation before printing . For example, if a form
has page perforations that are 3-1/2 inches apart and fold perforations that
are 7 inches apart, use 7 as the stacker form-length value. Refer to “Valid
Forms Lengths in Inches” in the
Planning and Configuration Guide for help in
deciding the correct length to specify at the stacker control panel.
