Parking fanfold paper
It is not necessary to remove fanfold paper currently loaded in the printer in
order to print on cut-sheet paper. Instead, simply use the following procedure to
park the fanfold paper.
❏ Tear off the paper at a perforation so there is no more than half a page
sticking out of the front cover of the printer.
If necessary, you can press the control panel’s ON LINE button to put the
printer off-line. Then use the PAPER FEED button to feed the paper until
a perforation is just past the front cover.
❏ Press the control panel’s ON LINE button to put the printer off-line.
❏ While holding down the control panel’s FONT button, press the PAPER
FEED button. The printer automatically reverse feeds the fanfold paper
until it is no longer in contact with the platen, which is indicated by the
printer beeping a number of times. Also, the control panel’s POWER
indicator starts to flash because paper is not loaded.
❏ Move the release lever to the cut-sheet position.
❏ Change the paper guide to its upright position.
You can now load cut-sheet paper into the printer using the procedures
under “Manual sheet feeding” on page 37.
Unparking fanfold paper
After you are finished printing on cut-sheet paper, use the following procedure
to unpark fanfold paper and make it available for printing.
❏ Remove all cut-sheet paper from the printer.
❏ Change the paper guide position so that it is laying down flat.
❏ Move the release lever to the fanfold position.
❏ Pull the bail lever toward the front of the printer to feed the paper to the
starting position.
❏ After the paper is fully fed (indicated by the printer’s beeping), return the
bail lever back to its original position toward the back of the printer.
The printer automatically goes back on-line at this time.
