Press the ON
LINE
button to set the printer on line.
The printer remembers this loading position and advances each page to
the same position. Never adjust the loading position using the platen
knob. If you need to adjust the loading position, use the micro-
adjustment feature. See the section on setting the loading position in
Chapter
3.
Note:
Before you begin printing, be sure to check the page length
and skip over perforation settings, and readjust the settings if
necessary. See the sections on page length and skip over perforation in
Chapter 3.
Also, if you are using preprinted or multi-part forms or labels, or if
you wish to obtain the highest quality graphics, it is recommended
that you use the optional pull tractor. See the pull tractor section in
Chapter 7.
When you have finished printing
When you are ready to tear off the continuous paper printout, you can
either use the automatic short tear-off function or use the following steps.
(For more information on the short tear-off function, see Chapter
3.)
1. After printing is completed, set the printer off line.
