Setting Forms Length

To set the forms length, follow these steps.

1.

Press and release the 2nd FUNC switch.

2.

Press the F/L switch; the indicator will remain lit and the current forms

length will display on the digital panel.

3.

Press and quickly release the F/L switch to advance the number by 1/2

inch or press and hold the F/L switch until the number you want

displays. After the number advances to 24 (24.0), it will automatically

begin again at 3 (3.0).

4.

If you want the printer ON–LINE, (ready to print) after setting the new

forms length, press the 2nd FUNC switch to turn its indicator off. When

the indicator goes off, the RDY indicator will flash. Press the RDY

switch.

NOTE: If you want to return to your original forms length setting, reset to

that length by following the directions above or turn the power off

and the current forms length will reset automatically. Forms length

displayed can be from either the host computer or the printer

EAROM. Pressing the F/L switch will reset forms length to the

EAROM value resulting in a forms length different than that

generated by the host. Host forms length can be defined in either

inches ()1.0 to 22.0) or lines (001 to 127). Only forms length in

inches can be specified from the printer front panel.
