CONTROL PANEL BUTTONS
ONLINE This button allows you to place the printer online or
offline, as indicated by the ONLINE indicator, and as
temporarily displayed on the 16-character display. It is
also used for starting and stopping the test pattern while
the printer is in the Barber Pole mode.
NOTE: The printer must be offline before you can use
any of the other buttons.
If you press and hold this button at power-up/reset,
internal printer information is displayed on the LCD.
For more information, refer to “Checking Printer
Configuration” in the “Using Special Features” section
of this manual.
LOAD / FORM FEED When no paper is currently loaded (a paper out condition
exists), this button loads the paper which has been
installed in the tractors by moving the top edge of the

may also cause the tractor path to change if a form has
been selected which uses a different path (refer to
UNLOAD/FORM SELECT below).
If paper is already loaded, this button uses the currently
selected form length to advance the paper to the top of
the next form.
For a description of this button while the printer is in
setup mode, refer to “Introduction to Setup” later in this
chapter.

exists), this button unloads the paper and places the top
edge of the paper in the tractors in the base of the unit.
This allows you to change the paper easily. A paper out
condition is displayed to indicate that the paper was
unloaded successfully.
The printer will attempt to unload up to 36 inches of
paper. If the top edge of the paper is not found, paper
motion will stop and “Too Much Paper” will be
displayed on the LCD. Normally, previous pages should
be torn off before you press UNLOAD. It is
recommended that you not use this method to unload
more than the current form.
When no paper or form is currently loaded, this button
selects one of ten preset form setups. In the
FormsPro 4503, this may also select a different set of
