Reloading during printing

When you print a document more than one page long using single-

sheet paper, there are two ways your software can enable you to load a

new sheet at the end of a page:

l

If your software sends characters in a continuous stream, the printer

stops printing when it reaches the bottom of the paper. When this

happens, the

ON LINE

light goes off automatically.

l

If your software handles printing page by page, it probably stops

sending characters at the end of a page and prompts you to insert

more paper. In this case, the

ON LINE

light may remain on. If it does,

the first thing you should do is press the

ON/OFF LINE

button once

to turn it off.

Once the

ON LINE

light is off, remove the sheet that has just been

printed and load a new sheet in the same way as before.

Printing multi-part forms and copies

If you wish to print multi-part forms or carbon copies, use no more

than three sheets or parts at a time, with a total thickness of no more

than 0.01 inches. The factory setting for the paper thickness lever,

located inside the front lid on the left side, accommodates both single

sheets and multiple forms. There is no need to adjust the lever.

Operating the Control Panel

Now that your paper is loaded, it is time to see what the indicators

and buttons on the control panel do. First, see that the power switch

on the left side of the printer is on. Then take a look at the control

panel. (See Figure 1-19.)
