Paper handling This section describes how to set the paper type, load fanfold paper and single sheets, transport
paper and move the paper to the tear position.
➤ Paper path quick
selection
You can change the paper type either from an application program, by means of the paper path
quick selection feature or in the Setup menu. In this section, the quick selection feature is
described; for detailed information on how to make this setting via the Setup menu, refer to the
reference manual on the online CD-ROM.
Make sure that the printer is in offline mode; press the Online key, if necessary.
Press the Park (1) key and follow the messages in the display. If fanfold paper
is loaded in the printer, it is fed to the tear position. The text Tear paper off
appears in the display. Then press any key. If a single sheet is loaded in the
printer, it is ejected.
Use one of the marked keys to select the desired paper path, for example,
Single (2).
The display alternates between the basic menu and the menu in the following
figure:
Insert a single sheet (for the procedure, see page 14, Loading paper).
Press the Online key to set the printer to ready status. When the printer receives
data from the computer, the single sheet is automatically loaded. Press the
Load (4) key to load the single sheet before starting the printout.
