The feed command feeds a sheet of paper from the Cut Sheet Feeder
(CSF) to the set Top of Form. Any sheet of paper already in the
printer is ejected before a new one is fed in.
The eject command causes data in the printer buffer to be printed
and the sheet to be ejected. If the page end or the area to be skipped
at the page end is reached, the sheet is ejected and a new sheet auto-
matically fed and advanced to the print position. Any defined Top
of Form position, however, is disregarded. Therefore, when a Cut
Sheet Feeder is installed the page change in the case of multipage
documents must be performed with the form feed command.

With the two bin selection commands you can define from which
bin paper is to be fed when using a dual bin Cut Sheet Feeder.
When using the dual-bin feeder, different Top of Form positions
can be set for each bin. You can select the priority bin in the printer
menu with CSF Bin Select in the Set-Up group. You can then de-
fine via the control panel the Top of Form position for the paper
from the bin selected via the menu. You can, for example, feed a
form with preprinted letterhead from one bin with a Top of Form
position a large distance from the top edge of the sheet, followed by
single sheets from the other bin with a Top of Form position near to
the top edge of the sheet.
