Parking fanfold paper
It is not necessary to remove fanfold paper currently loaded in the printer in
order to print on cut-sheet paper fed by hand. Instead, simply use the following
procedure to park the fanfold paper.
❏
Tear off the paper at a perforation so there is no more than half a page
sticking out of the front cover of the printer.
If necessary, you can press the control panel’s
ON LINE button to put the
printer off-line. Then use the LF button to feed the paper until a perforation
is just past the front cover.
❏
Press the control panel’s ON LINE button to put the printer on-line.
❏
Press the control panel’s LF button. The printer automatically reverse feeds
the fanfold paper until it is no longer in contact with the platen.
❏
Set the release lever on the back of the printer to the cut-sheet position.
The paper is now parked, and you can load cut-sheet paper into the printer
using the procedures under “Manual sheet feeding” on page 59.
Unparking fanfold paper
After you are finished printing on cut-sheet paper, use the following procedure
to unpark fanfold paper and make it available for printing.
❏
If any cut-sheet paper is still in the printer, put the printer on-line and then
press the control panel’s
LF button to eject it.
❏
Check to make sure the printer is off-line.
❏
Set the release lever on the back of the printer to the fanfold position.

Press the control panel’s LF button. The printer automatically feeds the
fanfold paper back into position, ready for printing.
