message.
Note: If you are not familiar with loading forms on continuous forms printers, see
“About forms and forms path” on page 2 for detailed information about the paper
path.
All messages that you respond to while loading forms will appear on both the
touch panels and on the printer operator panel display. Most of the controls that
you need to use are available on both the touch panels and the printer operator
panel. However, some may only be available on the touch panels.
You can load most forms using automatic load procedures. Automatic load
procedures use the Auto Load button, which automatically loads the forms
through the transfer station, across the tension arm and bridge, and into the fuser
entry area, and finally moves them into the forms exit area.
If the Auto Load button is disabled (such as when the damper kit feature is
installed), you can load the forms using manual load procedures. Manual load
procedures require that you manually thread the forms through the transfer
station, across the tension arm and bridge, and into the fuser entry area and then
use the
Form Feed button to move the forms into the forms exit area.
Alternative procedures are provided for loading special purpose forms, like
preprinted forms, and changing forms.
