13.0.6 Power-On with Continuous Media
The firmware will remember what media type is loaded. If powered down with continuous
media loaded, the firmware will power on with the top LED flashing (as described above)
allowing the user to unload the continuous media if cutsheet media is desired for the next print
job.
13.0.7 Power-Off with Continuous Media
If the Power key is pressed while in the middle of a banner page, the media will first be
advanced to the next top of form before turning the printer off. Any unprinted data will be lost.
13.0.8 Printing Cutsheet with Z-Fold Media
Attempting to print cutsheet media while z-fold media is loaded and there exists a bidirectional
I/O connection between the host and printer, will halt the printer in an error state. Power
cycling will clear the error.
Without a bidirectional I/O connection, the printer will format and print the cutsheet job on the
z-fold media.
