Chapter 3 Operational Procedures
Operational Procedures
This section contains routine printer operating procedures on how to:
• reload paper;
• unload paper;
• cancel a print job.
Reload Paper
Do this procedure when “LOAD PAPER” displays. (This message occurs
when the last sheet of paper passes through the paper slot.) This procedure
reloads paper without removing the last sheet of the old paper supply, while
retaining the current top-of-form setting.
Figure 6. Paper Slot Location
1. Raise the printer cover. Raise the platen lever as far as it will go. (See
“Printer Component Locations” on page 17 for the location of the lever.)
2. Press ( ON LINE/CLEAR) to turn off the alarm. Do not open the tractor
doors or remove the existing paper.
3. For cabinet models, open the front door. Align the paper supply with the
label on the floor. Ensure the paper pulls freely from the box.
4. Feed the paper up through the paper slot (see Figure 6). It may be easier
to feed one corner of the new paper up through the slot first. When this
corner can be grasped from the top, rotate the paper back to the normal
position.
NOTE: If you are using thick, multi-part forms and are unable to load the new
paper over the existing paper, go to step 15.
5. Hold the paper to prevent it from slipping down and through the paper
slot.
