Switching Paper Types
If you have more than one type of job, it is often necessary to switch between continuous
forms and single sheets. This section explains how to switch between paper types. It is
not necessary to remove the continuous forms paper from the printer.
Switching from Continuous Forms to Single Sheets
To switch from continuous forms to single sheets:
1 Tear off your printed pages.
2 Retract the forms paper to the park position by pressing the Park key. The Fault indi-
cator turns on.
3 Move the Paper Select lever to the single sheet position.
4 Raise the Paper tray support and guide to tray position 2. (For details, see the section,
“Using Single Sheets,” earlier in this chapter.) Put a sheet of paper on the Paper
support and guide with its bottom edge aligned with the platen. The paper is automat-
ically detected and advanced (if the Single Sheet Load Option is set to automatic)
when it is first inserted to the top-of-form position. In this mode, if the FF/LOAD key is
pushed, the inserted sheet will be ejected from the printer and the Fault LED will light,
indicating a paper out condition.
You are now ready to print using single sheets.
CAUTION: Retracting many pages by using the Park key without tearing off may
cause paper jams. To avoid damage to your printed pages, be sure to tear
off the printed pages before retracting the continuous forms paper.
