Paper Parking Function

Switching from fanfold paper to single sheets

When using fanfold paper (push tractor), single sheets can be inserted without removing 
paper from the tractor feeder.

The fanfold paper can be moved to the parking position by the switches on the operation 
panel. Switching to friction feed after doing this allows printing on single sheets with the 
fanfold paper in the tractor feeder left as it is.

To switch from fanfold paper to single sheet mode proceed as follows:

Tear off printed paper at its perforation, if necessary.

Press the PARK key. The fanfold paper is transported backward to the park position.

Move the paper select lever backward to Single Sheet position.

If necessary, readjust the Print Gap lever for continuous forms (see section “Print Gap 
Lever” on page 2-19.

Raise the single sheet feeder until it locks in its mounting.

Align the left paper guide with the mark on the left of the single sheet feeder. Adjust 
the right paper guide to the width of thepaper used.

Insert a sheet of paper. Make sure that the bottom edge of the paper engages snugly 
with the platen. The paper will automatically advance to the top-of-form position if 
the Single Sheet Load option of the Setup mode is set to Automatic.

Switching from single sheets to fanfold paper

To switch from single sheet mode to tractor mode, proceed as follows:

If a single sheet is loaded, press the FF/LOAD key. The sheet is ejeceted.

Move the paper select lever to the front (user’s direction) to Continuous Paper 
position.

Press the FF/LOAD key again. The printer feeds the fanfold paper to the top of 
form position.
