The
release lever to the left
of
the platen determines which
type
of
paper
feed system
is
to
be used. Figure 2.4 shows the
location
of
the release lever. When the lever
is
forward, the
friction feed system
is
engaged. When the lever
is
back, the
friction feed system
is
disengaged, and the pin feed system can
be used exclusively.
The locations for the sprockets
of
the pin feed system can
be adjusted
to
accommodate paper
or
forms with any width
between 4
and
10~
inches.
The
back cover panel
of
the printer
encloses the pin feed mechanism. To move the sprockets,
remove the cover
and
locate the white release levers (see figure
2.5). Pushing the levers toward the back
of
the printer releases
the sprockets and allows them
to
be moved. Once the correct
configuration has been established, lock the sprockets in place
by pushing the release levers forward.
The sprockets are equipped with paper clamps that keep
the
paper
securely in position. These clamps can be released by
simply lifting upward on the inside edge
of
the clamp. The
clamps can be secured once again by pressing downward until
they snap into position.
The friction feed system is used in the same manner as a
typical typewriter. When the paper release lever
is
forward,
simply insert a sheet
of
paper
behind the platen and use the
paper advance knob on the side
of
the printer
to
advance the
paper
to
an
appropriate position.
The
paper release lever can
be used to allow the paper to be straightened after it has been
inserted into the printer.
