Using the Printer
5. To separate the incoming paper from the printed paper, attach
the paper guide by holding it horizontally and fitting its
notches over the printer’s mounting posts as shown below.
Then slide the paper guide toward the front of the printer until
you feel it click.
6. Turn on the printer.
7. Make sure the printer cover is closed. Press the LF/FF button
to feed the paper to the loading position. When the printer
receives data, it begins printing automatically.
8. After you finish printing, follow the steps in the next section
to tear off your printed document. If the first printed line on
your page appears too high or low, you can change its position
by using the Micro Adjust feature. See “Adjusting the
top-of-form position” on page 2-22.
c
Caution:
Never use the paper-feed knob to adjust the top-of-form position;
this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form
position.
When you send more data, the paper automatically feeds back to
the loading position.
