, 1.5.10 Sheet Loading and Sheet Ejection REV.-A The release lever engages or disengages the push-tractor unit drive mechanism. The lever's operation provides with improved paper-handling functions: (a) Automatic cut sheet loading without the cut sheet feeder Move the release Ievertothe FRICTION position and load a sheet using the paper guide (top or optional front). A few seconds later, the sheet is automatically loaded to the top-of-form position, and the printer becomes ready to print. (b) Automatic cut sheet loading and ejection with the cut sheet feeder Move the release lever to the FRICTION position and load a stack of paper into the hopper of the cut sheet feeder. Pressing the PAPER FEED button loads the sheet to the top-of-form position. If a paper-out is detected before printing starts, the sheet is automatically loaded to the top-of-form position, without the PAPER FEED button being pressed. (c) Continuous paper loading and ejection (paper park) Move the release lever to REAR PUSH/FRONT PUSH position and load the paper into the tractor unit. Press the PAPER FEED button to load the paper automatically to the top-of-form position. If a paper-out is detected before printing starts, the paper is automatically loaded to the top-of-form position, without the PAPER FEED button being pressed. If the FONT+ PAPER FEED buttons are pressed when the continuous paper is loaded, the paper is ejected backward to the paper park position. To feed several pages backward, repeat this operation several times. 1.5.11 Adjust Lever Operation The platen gap adjust lever must be set to the proper position (from the 8 step available) for the paper thickness.lf this lever is set to the position 2 (4th step) or higher, printing speed and paper feeding speed will be reduced.
