3. SELECT the Feed Forms pushbutton on the Thread/Align Forms window.
a. This prints a solid alignment mark after the leading edge on a page in
Printer 1, which is designated as an alignment page.
A one-bar or two-bar pattern is also printed on the alignment page. The
bar shows whether Side 1 or Side 2 of the form is being printed on Printer
1.
This prints a dashed alignment mark after the leading edge of the page.
b. This feeds a fixed length of forms through Printer 1.
The fixed length is based on the “Form Feed Length” configuration item
shown on the Configure Printer window under the Configure pull-down
menu. It is a multiple of the current loaded Form Name page length that
is closest to the “Form Feed Length” without exceeding it.
4. Continue SELECTING the Feed Forms pushbutton on the window for Printer
1 until the forms do not advance any further.
Enough forms should have moved through Printer 1 to manually thread the
Buffer/Flipper Unit (see “Threading the Buffer/Flipper Unit” on page 167 for
details). Advance the forms under Printer 2 into the input area of Printer 2, and
thread Printer 2.
The Feed Forms pushbutton on the window for Printer 1 becomes inoperable
when a multiple of the current loaded Form Name page length that is closest to
but not exceeding the length in the “Length of Forms Between transfer Points”
configuration item shown on the Configure Printer window under the
Configure pull-down menu has moved through Printer 1.
When the Feed Forms pushbutton and the Feed pushbutton are inoperable and
additional length is needed to supply enough forms to thread Printer 2,
SELECT the Printer 1 Feed Page pushbutton on the window.
5. After enough forms have moved through Printer 1 and the Buffer/Flipper Unit,
and you have created a buffer big enough between the Buffer/Flipper Unit and
Printer 2 to allow you to thread Printer 2, do the following:
a. Remove power from the Urge Unit in the Forms Input area of Printer 2. The
Urge Unit cannot be threaded while the roller is moving.
b. Thread forms through the Urge Unit.
c. Restore power to the Urge Unit.
6. Follow the steps in the “Loading Forms (Duplex Mode)” on page 115 to thread
Printer 2.
7. Visually verify that the dashed alignment mark that is printed on Printer 1 is
aligned to the alignment mark on the input station on Printer 2.
a. If the alignment mark is aligned at Printer 2, check to see if there is a
sufficient buffer loop of forms between Printer 1 and the Buffer/Flipper
Unit. If you need to increase the buffer loop, change the “Length of Forms
Between Transfer Points” printer configuration item. See the table item on
page 223 for more information.
b. If the Printer 1 alignment mark is short of the alignment mark in Printer 2,
SELECT the Printer 2 Feed Page pushbutton as many times as necessary
until the Printer 1 alignment mark is aligned at Printer 2.
c. If the Printer 1 alignment mark is past the alignment mark in printer 2, first
add some more buffer loop between Printer 1 and the Buffer/Flipper Unit
by SELECTING the Printer 1 Feed Page pushbutton several times. Then
SELECT the Cancel pushbutton on the window.
You must now restart this Thread/Align Forms procedure.
