Switching Printer Modes (Dual Simplex/Duplex)
Use these procedures to switch between duplex and dual simplex modes on
Models ED1/ED2.
Note: Do not change the print mode in combination with any other configuration
changes. You must do it separately. Make other configuration changes after
the printer is in the correct print mode.
Switching from Duplex to Dual Simplex Mode
1. To stop the printer, SELECT the Stop pushbutton on the Display Touch
Screen.
2. SELECT the Configure pull-down menu on the main Display Touch Screen
window.
3. SELECT the Configure Printer procedure. The Configure Printer window
appears.
4. Find and SELECT the Printer Mode item.
5. SELECT the Simplex item.
6. SELECT the OK pushbutton.
7. SELECT Restart when this prompt appears.
8. A window appears that informs you that an automatic Shutdown procedure
has started. This is followed by a window that states that the system is being
“rebooted” (reloading AFCCU microcode). At the completion of the microcode
reload, the Printer Mode change is in effect (one of the main simplex printer
Display Touch Screen windows appears).
Note: No system power-off and power-on procedure is required.
9. To remove any forms still in the printer, see “Clearing the Forms Path” on
page 136.
10. Load paper and assign forms in both printers for dual simplex operation (see
“Loading Forms (Simplex or Dual Simplex Mode)” on page 102).
11. SELECT the Ready pushbutton.
For additional information, see “Chapter 8. Configuring the System” on page 217.
