FORM FEED Button (REPRINT Button)
The
Form Feed
button works in two ways according to the
Data
LED
status.
Form Feed
When the printer is off-line and there is data remaining in the printer
memory, the
Data
LED comes on. Pressing the
Form Feed
button
executes a form feed and prints the remaining data.
If you set the number of copies with the
Copy
button and press the
Sel
button during copy printing, the printer suspends the form feed operation.
Pressing the
Sel
button again resumes the form feed operation.
If no data remains in the printer memory and you press the
Form Feed
button, the printer ignores this button operation.
✒
Note
If you want the printer to print the remaining data automatically, you can
set the auto form feed function with the
Mode
button. See “AUTO
FORMFEED” in this chapter.
Reprint Function
You can reprint the last print job without sending it from the computer
again. When you press the
Form Feed
button with the
Data
LED off,
the printer reprints the pages of the last print job. You can use this
function to recover printing when a paper jam has occurred.
After printing is finished, set the printer off-line and press the
Form
Feed
button once, so that the printer prints the pages of the last print job.
However, if there is not enough memory to keep all the pages of the last
print job, the printer will print only the last page of the last job.
When you press the
Form Feed
button one or more times during
reprinting, you can set the number of copies to reprint. The printer
reprints the last job the number of times you press the button.
✒
Note
The reprint data remains in the printer’s memory until the printer is reset
or the emulation, or some settings, are changed. After you have reprinted
confidential data, be sure to reset the printer to clear it from the printer
memory.
