1.6 SHEET LOADING AND SHEET EJECTION
The release lever enables disengaging of the push tractor unit drive mechanism. The printer therefore
provides some improved paper-handling functions through combination of the release-lever and
LOAD/EJECT control panel switch.
Cut Sheet Loading And Ejection
To load a sheet of paper, position the paper release lever back, place the sheet along the paper guide,
and press the LOAD/EJECT switch. This loads the paper to the top-of-form position.
Pressing the LOAD/EJECT switch after the paper has been loaded will cause the paper to be ejected.
Continuous Paper Loading And Ejection (Back-out)
To load fanfold paper, move the paper release Iever forward, and insert the paper into the push tractor.

Pressing the LOAD/EJECT switch will then cause paper to be automatically loaded to the top-of-form
L. .,.
position. Pressing the LOAD/EJECT switch after the fanfold paper has been loaded will cause the printer
to eject the paper backward from the push tractor. To back out several pages, press the LOAD/EJECT
switch several times (reverse feed is performed on a page-by-page basis).
The
ON-LINE LED will flash only when the paper is loaded and the ON-LINE switch pressed. This indicates
that the printer has entered “Top-of-form adjust” mode, and that the user may adjust the top-of-form
position, as well as the loading positions for subsequent forms. Adjustment is made using the FORM
FEED button,
which will increment the paper forward, and the LINE FEED switch, which will increment the paper in
reverse. (The minimum feed amount is 2/216 inch).
When cut sheet is used, the adjusted Top-of-form position will be lost when the printer is re-initialized,
and the Top-of from will be reset to the default value. When continuous
memory of the adjusted Top-of-form position will be retained even after
paper is used, however, the
