Paper parking

This function moves fanfold paper back to the push tractor position (park station) so that single

sheet paper can be used. Specially it is useful when switching from fanfold paper to single

sheet paper.

• Pressing the PARK key removes the fanfold paper from the print station so that single sheet

paper can be used.

• Switching of the paper select lever is required for the actual mechanical switching of the paper

path.

• Pressing the PARK key when the printer is in the paper-out state loads the selected paper

(fanfold or single sheet) to the top-of-form position.

The following chart explains the paper handling of the PARK key in the offline state:

1. Make sure that the setting of the paper select lever corresponds to the type of paper

being used.

2. The paper park function causes a PAPER ERROR in the following situations:

a) when the fanfold paper does not set in the park station (at the push tractors) after

moving more than 22 inches backward

b) when the paper (fanfold or single sheet) is not autoloaded to the print position after

feeding more than 8 inches (At this time, the printer tries to sense the paper in the

printer.)

c) when the single sheet paper is not ejected from the printer after advancing more

than 22 inches.
