Paper Handling
Problem Solution

button is pressed, the
platen does not rotate
and paper does not
feed.
When the
LOAD/EJECT

paper
does not feed.
You may be trying to feed paper using the
control panel buttons while the printer is
on line (ON LINE light on). Press the ON LINE
button once to set the printer off line, then
try feeding paper. After feeding paper,
press the
ON LINE button again to set the
printer on line. See Chapter 3.
The paper release lever may be pushed
back to the single-sheet position. When
using the pull tractor, be sure the paper
release lever is pulled forward to the
continuous paper position. See Chapter 2.
Continuous paper may have already been
in the paper path. (In this case, the paper
feeds backward to the standby position.)
Press the LOAD/EJECT button again to load
the paper.
