Note: Switching this lever to continuous paper setting will mechanically
release the pressure roller for single sheets and engage gear trains for
continuous paper.
Paper parking
This function moves fanfold paper back to the push tractor position (park station) so that single
sheet paper can be used. Specifically 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
select.
• 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 table explains the paper handling of the PARK key in the offline state:
Notes
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 PAPER ERROR in the following situations:
a) when the fanfold paper is 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 station after
feeding more than 8 inches. (At this time, the printer tries to sense the paper in
the printer.)
c) when single sheet paper is not ejected from the printer after advancing more than
22 inches.
