3-10 Loading Paper
Using the Demand Document Mode––continued
Instead of selecting On at the DEMAND parameter, you can select
Beep, Tear or Auto. These options also select the demand document
mode, but with special options:
99
99
9 Beep causes the printer to begin beeping 15 seconds after you press
the Ready button to pause printing. This beeping serves as a re-
minder to press the Ready button again to re-enable printing.
99
99
9 Tear causes the printer to reverse feed the paper to the next top-of-
form when you re-enable printing, whether or not you actually tear
off the last printed sheet. This option is useful when printing thick
multipart forms that jam when the leading edge of the form is reverse
fed below the printhead.
99
99
9 Auto causes the printer to advance the bottom of the last printed
page to the tear bar whenever the printer is idle—you don't have to
press the Ready button. As soon as the printer receives subsequent
data to print, the paper reverse feeds as usual.
If you want to stop printing mid-form without advancing the perforation
to the tear bar, press the Ready button twice in succession. This disables
printing and displays the PAUSE message. Pressing the Ready button
again re-enables printing and displays the READY message. These are
the normal ready/pause conditions of the printer. You'll learn more about
them in the Control Panel section of this guide.
