continuous paper.
Paper parking
This function moves fanfold paper back to the push tractor position (park station) so that single
sheet paper can be used. Specifically it is useful when switching from fanfold paper to single
sheet paper.
• Pressing the PARK key removes the fanfold paper from the print station so that single sheet
paper can be used.
• Switching of the paper select lever is required for the actual mechanical switching of the paper
select.
• Pressing the FF key when the printer is in the paper-out state loads the selected paper (fanfold
or single sheet) to the top-of-form position.
The following table explains the paper handling of the FF and the PARK key in the offline
state:
Notes
1. Make sure that the setting of the paper select lever corresponds to the type of paper being
used.
2. The paper park function causes PAPER ERROR in the following situations:
a) when the fanfold paper is not set in the park station (at the push tractors) after moving
more than 22 inches backward.
b) when the paper (fanfold or single sheet) is not autoloaded to the print station after
feeding more than 8 inches. (At this time, the printer tries to sense the paper in the
printer.)
c) when single sheet paper is not ejected from the printer after advancing more than 22
inches.
