To return the paper to its previous position, press the ~GE3 button once
again. When you release the button, the printer will return to its on-line
status, and the paper will be fed backwards, with the print head aligned with
the top of the next form.
Micro Feed
The Micro Feed facility is useful if you wish to align the paper exactly. It
feeds the paper forwards or backwards in 1/12Oth inch increments.
To use this feature, put the printer off-line (using the GYL@~ button).
Then press the (,LINE button, and either the G!!EE% button (to feed the
paper forwards), or the (353EZ button (to feed the paper backwards).
Holding down these buttons continuously will continue to feed the paper for-
wards or backwards in small increments.

It is possible to clear the buffer of the printer or to return it to its power-on
status by using the front panel buttons without having to turn the power off
and on. To do this, put the printer off-line (press thee YY~ button), and then
press the “, ~+3 button again. Before releasing the Z~NE~ button, hold
down the G3 button. Releasing the
54 button within two seconds of
holding it down (before releasing the NC
0~ ~=1 button) will clear the data in
the buffer. Releasing the button after two seconds (again, before releasing
the ” -YYE button) will reset the printer back to the settings at power-on.
