button. If
you wish to exit SelecType mode, press the

Page Length
The SelecType function also enables you to set the page length of paper
used with the tractor feed system or the cut sheet feeder. The page length
can be set in
1/6th
of an inch units within a range of 24 lines to 132 lines.
Be sure that the page length is correctly set for the type of paper feed
system you are using. If you are using the cut sheet feeder, the page
length is automatically set and memorized when you run the printer’s
built-in self test. However, you can use this Selectype feature to override
this setting.
If you are using friction feed, it is not necessary to set page length with
SelecType. However, be sure to select the correct page length with your
application software. Also, if possible, select the hand-fed or single sheet
mode with your software. If your software gives you the option of
sending a form feed at the end of a page, select that capability as well.
To set the page length using SelecType, follow the steps below to set the
FORM LENGTH
option. The displays shown may be different if your
printer’s preset settings have been changed.
