Entering the Multi-part Mode
When the printer is in the Multi-part Mode, the print head prints with greater
impact. It should be noted, however, that printing in the Multi-part Mode also
reduces the life of the print head. Because of this, you should use the Multi-part
Mode only for printing on four or five-ply paper. Return to the normal mode for
printing on one to three-ply paper.
Use the following procedure to enter the Multi-part Mode
o Make sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).
o Press MULTI-PART to change the printing force selection.
The following shows the meanings of the indicators that light on the control
panel when you press MULTI-PART.
o When you will select Auto, the printing force is controlled by the adjust-lever position.
o When you will select Normal, the printing force is always normal mode and it’s used
the single-sheet or the multi-part form which is less then 1 original and 2 copies.
o When you will select Multi, the printing force is always multi-part mode and it’s used
the multi-play form which is 1 original and 3 or 4 copies.
