Reloading during printing
When you print a document more than one page long using single
sheets of paper, there are two different ways your software can allow
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 and sounds
the beeper. 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 probably remains on, and
the first thing you should do is press the
ON 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.
