FORM FEED Switch (REPRINT Switch)
The FORM FEED switch works in two ways according to the DATA lamp
status.
Form Feed
When the printer is off-line and there is data remaining in the printer
memory, the DATA lamp comes on. Pressing the FORM FEED switch
executes a form feed and prints out the remaining data. The display may
look as follows:
01 PRINT 001P T1
If you set the number of copies with the COPY switch and press the
FORM FEED switch during copy printing, the printer suspends the form
feed operation and the display shows the following message:
07 FF PAUSE
Pressing the SEL switch again resumes the form feed operation.
When no data remains in the printer memory and you press the FORM
FEED switch, the printer ignores this switch operation and the display
shows the following message:
No Data !!!
Note
If you want the printer to print out the remaining data automatically, you
can set the auto form feed function with the MODE switch. See “AUTO
FORMFEED” in Chapter 4.
Reprint Function
You can reprint the last print job data without sending it from the
computer again. When you press the FORM FEED switch with the DATA
lamp off, the printer reprints the last print job if there is sufficient memory
to sore the complete job, otherwise it will reprint the last page of the job.
You can use this function in order to recover printing when a paper jam
has occurred.
