Error Codes
The message "DATA IN BUFFER" may appear in display window signifying that
there is still data stored in buffer that needs to be released. Press the RESET
button to clear out existing information in buffer and allow printer to enter SETUP
mode.
Adjustments
Paper Thickness lever (located on top left side of printer):
The symbol with multiple sheets is used to print out multiple forms as well as envel-
opes. The nine positions between multiple forms and single sheet forms are used
according to paper thickness. Middle location settings are designated for four- to
six-part forms. One line which is wider than the others shown is used for standard
continuous or cut-sheet paper.
