Clearing Paper Jams
To clear a paper jam, follow these steps:
1. Press the
Operate button to turn off the printer.
2. If a single-sheet of paper is stuck on the paper guide, gently
remove it.
3. Remove the printer cover. If you are loading continuous
paper from the rear slot, remove the paper guide.
4. If continuous paper is jammed in the printer, tear off the
fresh supply at the perforation nearest the paper entry slot.
5. Turn the knob on the right side of the printer away from
you to eject the paper in the printer. Remove any remaining
pieces of paper.
Caution:
Use the knob on the right side of the printer only to clear
paper jams when the printer is off. Otherwise, you may
damage the printer or lose the top-of-form or tear-off
position.
6. Replace the printer cover, and the paper guide if necessary.
Then close the paper guide cover.
7. Press the
Operate button to turn on the printer. Make sure
the
Paper Out and Pause lights are off.
About Your Printer’s Default Settings
The printer’s default settings control many printer functions.
While you can often set these functions through your software
or printer driver, you may sometimes need to change a default
setting from the printer’s control panel using the default-
setting mode.
The following table lists the default settings and the options
you can select in the default-setting mode. To change the
default settings, see “Changing Default Settings” on this page.
Changing Default Settings
Follow the steps below to enter the default-setting mode and
change the printer’s default settings.
Note:
To print the language selection and default-setting mode instructions,
you need three sheets of letter- or A4-size single-sheet paper or three
pages of continuous paper that is at least 11 inches (279 mm) long
and 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide.
If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet of paper each
time the printer ejects a printed sheet.
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.
Caution:
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five
seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may
damage the printer.
2. Hold down the Pitch button while you press the Operate
button to turn on the printer. The printer enters the
default-setting mode and prints the language selection
instructions (one page).
3. Press the
Pitch button until the Pitch lights indicate the
language you want, as described in the language selection
instructions.
