Feeding cut sheets
and continuous
paper

If you are using single-part continuous paper, you can leave the cut
sheet feeder on the printer and alternately feed and process contin-
uous paper and cut sheets from the sheet feeder. To do this, trans-
port the continuous paper into the PARK position as described in
Chapter 3. It is not possible to process multi-part forms with the cut
sheet feeder installed. Use the tractor feed to process multi-part
forms (accessory).

Even though the cut sheet feeder permits printing of cut sheets
from the top of the page, it is advisable to leave a top margin of 1/3
inch (0.85 cm) and a bottom margin of 1 inch (2.54 cm) as the print
quality cannot be guaranteed in this area, and there are likely to be
a greater number of paper jams.

The bottom limit of printing is defined by the menu item Bottom
Margin

. If Bottom Margin is set to Valid, a bottom margin of 1/2

inch (13 mm) is preset. If, on the other hand, this menu item is set to
Invalid

, the bottom margin depends on the page length set in the

menu. The smallest possible bottom margin can be 0.5 mm. In this
case, make sure the page length is correctly set.

If you have installed a cut sheet feeder with two paper trays, you
can feed paper from either the front or rear tray as required. In
many application programs, the choice of tray can be set in the soft-
ware.

In the printer menu, it is possible to select the tray that is to be active
as default on switching on the printer. Please refer to “Chapter 4:
Printer menu settings” for this.

In addition, there are programming commands for choosing the
tray in the respective emulations.

Remove the cut sheet feeder from the switched-off printer by re-
peating the installation steps in the reverse order. The paper feed
rail must also be removed. Now refit the paper separator and paper
support as described in Chapter 1.
