Before you begin
This procedure assumes the following:
v
The Front Facing panel displays the message Next is Front .
v
The printer has been auto loaded (see “Loading forms” on page 69).
v
The Check Forms Alignment procedure has been completed (see “Checking
forms alignment” on page 188).
Note:

To use the eject-to-front-facing-page facility, the printer configuration item
Eject
to Front Facing
on the Printer - Basic panel must be set to
Enabled
.
2. Perform this task only for fan-fold forms being stacked in the printer stacker or
re-folded in a postprocessing device. This task has no benefit if a
postprocessing device processes the forms that separates each page, either by
bursting or cutting.
3. Perform this task only for fan-fold forms being re-folded in a postprocessing
device. This task has no benefit if a postprocessing device processes the forms
that separates each page, either by bursting or cutting.

About this task
Do this procedure when your system uses the eject-to-front-facing-page facility and
you need to tell the printer that the next page to be printed is a front-facing or a
back-facing page.
For example, the following situations might require you to perform this task:
v
Loading a new Snapshot in the printer
v
Reloading forms after you clear a forms jam
v Restarting printing operations in the middle of a job
The Eject To Front Facing option on the Printer - Basic panel ( Printer Definition →
Printer → Basic
) is used with fan-fold forms to allow the first page of each job to be
printed on a front-facing sheet. Use the Front Facing panel (
Forms → Front Facing
)
to indicate the orientation (either front facing or back facing) of the next sheet to be
printed. After you inform the printer of the orientation, the printer can ensure that
the first page of the next job will print on a front-facing sheet. The printer inserts a
blank sheet after jobs with odd-numbered pages to position the next job correctly.
