These driver windows have been designed to be easy to use and intuitive while supplementary on-line help is available by clicking each window Help button.
PAPER HANDLING This section describes how to use cut sheet paper and continuous forms in your printer. LOADING CUT SHEET PAPER 1. Ensure that the printer is switched ON. NOTE If there are any continuous forms in the printer, eject them as described in “Removing continuous forms” on page 37. 2. Ensure that the Pin Tractor covers are closed to avoid the possibility of paper jams. 3. Ensure the Paper Type Lever (1) is set to Cut Sheet.
4. Set the left paper margin by adjusting the Paper Guide (1). Position the edge of the Paper Guide (1) at the tip of the Printed Line Marker arrow (2) on the Paper Tray. 2 1 5. Remove the Access Cover and set the Paper Thickness Lever (1) to suit the paper. See “Setting the paper thickness lever” on page 40. 1 CAUTION! If the Paper Thickness Lever setting does not match the paper being used, paper feeding and printing may not work properly. 6.
paper on the Input Tray (2) into the printer until it is gripped. 2 1 NOTE Ensure that the paper is accurately aligned along the Paper Guide to avoid the possibility of skew printing. When printing an envelope, do not fold up the flap. A flap aligned along the Paper Guide can lead to skew printing. EJECTING CUT SHEET PAPER When the printer reaches the end of the cut sheet page it automatically ejects the page. If required, add another sheet for the printer to continue printing from where it left off.
LOADING CONTINUOUS FORMS SETTING UP CONTINUOUS FORMS To avoid paper feeding problems, carry out the following: 1. Check your printer is on a surface approximately 75 cm above the floor. 2. Position the continuous forms supply directly below the printer, no more than 3 cm left or right of the printer paper path. 3. Ensure the rear of the printer is close to and parallel with the edge of the surface and at least 60 cm from any wall. FEEDING CONTINUOUS FORMS (REAR FEED) 1.
3. Remove the Access Cover and set the Paper Thickness Lever (1) to suit the paper. See “Setting the paper thickness lever” on page 40. 1 NOTE If the Paper Thickness Lever setting does not match the paper being used, paper feeding and printing may not work properly. 4. Remove the Input Tray and Rear Cover together by gripping the Input Tray at both sides and pulling it up and away from the printer.
5. Lift the locking lever (1) of the left Pin Tractor and slide the Pin Tractor as required to adjust the paper position. 1 Press the locking lever back down to lock the Pin Tractor in the desired position. 6. Lift the locking lever (1) of the right Pin Tractor and slide the Pin Tractor to the required position to accommodate the width of the continuous forms to be used. Move the rear paper guide (2) to midway between the left (3) and right (4) Pin Tractors. 3 2 4 1 7.
Ensure that the forms are properly aligned on the sprocket pins, then close the Pin Tractor covers. 8. Adjust the right Pin Tractor to accommodate the width of the continuous forms, taking care that the forms are held neither too loosely nor too tightly between the Pin Tractors. Press the locking lever down to lock the right Pin Tractor in the desired position. 9.
pushing gently forward until the Input Tray clips into place. 10. Replace the Access Cover. 11. Press the LOAD/EJECT button. The continuous forms will be taken into the printer and positioned at the first line print position. FEEDING CONTINUOUS FORMS (BOTTOM FEED) NOTE If there is a cut sheet in the printer, eject it as described in “Ejecting cut sheet paper” on page 20. Moving tractor assembly 1. Ensure that the printer is switched OFF.
2. Disconnect the power cord. 3. Remove the Access Cover. WARNING! Be careful as the printhead may be hot after operation. Allow it to cool before touching it. 4. Move the printhead assembly to the left.
5. Push up the Pull Up Roller Assembly with the thumbs and release one side. Then, release the other side and remove the Pull Up Roller Assembly. The Pull Up Guide may become detached. 6. If necessary, replace the Pull Up Guide. 7. Turn the printer, so that the back of the printer is facing you.
8. Remove the Input Tray and Rear Cover together by gripping the Input Tray at both sides and pulling it back and up from the printer. 9. Remove the tractor assembly. Squeeze the handles to release the clamps on both sides. Continue to squeeze and rotate and lift the assembly out of the printer.
10. Position the tractor assembly as shown. The gear assembly is on the left. 11. Locate the arms over the pivot points and rotate the unit backwards until the clamps close over the back pins. 12. Turn the printer so that the front of the printer is facing you.
13. Turn the Platen Knob. If the tractor assembly is correctly installed, the gear will turn. If the gear does not turn as you turn the Platen Knob, repeat steps 10 to 12. 14. Replace the Input Tray and Rear Cover by fitting the Rear Cover into the grooves at the back of the printer and pulling gently forward until the Input Tray clips into place. 15. Replace the Access Cover.
Loading continuous forms (bottom feed) 1. Ensure the printer is turned off. 2. Remove the Access Cover.
3. Set the Paper Type Lever to Continuous Forms 4. Place the stack of continuous forms paper below the printer. Bring the paper up through the slot in the base of the printer. 5.
then press the locking lever (3) back down to lock the Pin Tractor in the desired position. 1 6. Lift the locking lever (1) of the right Pin Tractor and slide the Pin Tractor to the required position (2) to accommodate the width of the continuous forms to be used.

7. Open the left and right Pin Tractor covers (1) and feed the continuous forms (2) in the direction of the arrow, locating the sprocket holes in the forms onto the sprocket pins. 8. Ensure that the forms are properly aligned on the sprocket pins, then close the Pin Tractor covers. 9.
Tractors. Press the locking lever down (2) to lock the right Pin Tractor in the desired position. 10. Replace the Access Cover. 11. Turn ON the printer.
TEARING OFF CONTINUOUS FORMS 1. With the SEL indicator illuminated, press and hold the LF/ FF button to move the continuous form to the next page. 2. Press TEAR to align the tear-off perforations on the form with the paper cutter on the printer. 3. Carefully tear off the forms along the tear-off perforations using the paper cutter as a guide. Using excessive force may result in tearing at a position other than the tear-off perforations. 4.
3. Check the position of the tear-off perforations (1) relative to the paper cutter (2). 2 1 (a) To advance the forms, continue to hold down the TEAR button and then the SEL button. (b) To retract the forms, continue to hold down the TEAR button and the LF/FF button. NOTE If the specified correction range is more than +_ 3.53 mm (20/144 in) for ML1120 eco and +_ 4.23 mm (30/180 in) for ML1190 eco, the paper cannot be removed. 4.
4. Remove the Input Tray and Rear Cover together by gripping the Input Tray at both sides and pulling it up and away from the printer. 5. Lift the Pin Tractor covers and remove the forms. 6. Close the Pin Tractor covers. 7.
pushing gently forward until the Input Tray clips into place.
SETTING THE PAPER THICKNESS LEVER There are 6 lever positions, the first 5 for printing purposes and the sixth to facilitate ribbon replacement.
NOTE Printing with lever positions 5 – 6 is not guaranteed. If the lever position does not suit the paper thickness, paper feeding and printing may not work properly. Do not print bankbooks to avoid possible pin breakage/ribbon snagging. Printing can be carried out with the lever position set to 4 for paper thickness up to 0.32 mm. When lever positions 5-6 are selected, printing quality for carbon paper may decline resulting in illegible characters for example.
