IBM 3000 Printer User Manual


 
v You have visually checked the forms path and found it separated between
Printer 1 and Printer 2.
v The main Thread/Align Forms procedure window appears on the Display Touch
Screen.
v A print job is queued, and host attachments are enabled if the “Print While
Threading” option is selected.
Threading Without Printing
1. SELECT the No option within the Print While Threading? field.
2. SELECT the Start pushbutton.
3. If no forms were damaged and there is enough slack in the forms, splice the
forms together.
Go to step 5 on page 164.
4. If forms were damaged and must be removed or there is not enough slack to
splice the forms back together, use either the Feed Forms or Printer 1 Feed
Page pushbuttons to advance the forms through Printer 1 enough to splice the
forms together. The first selection of either the Feed Forms or the Printer 1
Feed Page pushbutton does the following:
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. Feeds a fixed length of forms through Printer 1. This is either the length
set in the Form Feed Length printer configuration item if you select the
Feed Forms pushbutton or the length of one page according the page
length definition for the Form Name currently loaded if you select the
Printer 1 Feed Page pushbutton.
