Problem Continuous paper does not feed properly (continued). Skip over perforation does not function. Skip over performation is set, but the perforation does not fall in fhe center of the skip. The loading position of the paper shifts slightly while printing several pages. After printing stops, the paper automatically feeds forward. Solution You may not have turned off the power after setting DIP switch 1-8 to on. To make new DIP switch settings effective, turn the power off, then on again. The page length for one page of continuous paper may be set incorrectly. Set DIP switches 2-1 and 2-2. See Chapter 3. You can also use control codes ESC C or ESC C 0 to set the page length correctly. See Chapter 9. The loading position of the paper may be too high or too low. Use the microadjustment to reset the loading position. See Chapter 3. The paper you are trying to feed may be too heavy for the built-in push tractor. When highly accurate paper feed is necessary, such as when printing carbon copies, use the optional pull tractor. The short tear-off function may be selected. When you resume printing, the paper feeds backward to its loading position. If you do not need this function, set DIP switch 2-7 to off. See Chapter 3. 7-22 Troubleshooting
