NOTE To eject a cut sheet form for any reason, press the Form Feed Key. Figure 3-7: Tear Off Bar Scale 3-10 Forms Handling User’s Guide NOTE If forms length is between 4.5” and 6.0”, verify that the Vertical Gap Position Feature is set to 0.0” (located under M8 Form Thickness in the setup mode). See Section 4.6 for further instructions on how to change this setting. Failure to set Vertical Gap for these forms may cause trailing edge of form to catch under guide during loading. Figure 3-8: Loading Cut Form Forms Handling 3-11 User’s Guide 11. Set form length, right and left margins. To set form length, first measure the length of the form (in inches) and multiply this value by the vertical lines per inch. For example: if the form length is 11 inches and the vertical pitch is 6 lines per inch, then the form length would be: 11 inches x 6 lines per inch = form length 66 lines To set the form length, open the keypad door and press the Quick Access key until “Form Length” appears in the display. Press the Value keys to change the setting and press the Enter key to save the setting. To set left and right margins, measure the printed width of the form (in inches excluding pinfeed holes) and multiply this value by the font pitch. The scale on the tear off bar may be used to estimate margin location for 10 cpi. For example: if the printed form width is 8.5 inches and the font pitch is 10 characters per inch, then the form width would be: 8.5 inches by 10 cpi = right margin 85 To set the right margin, press the Quick Access key until “Right Margin” appears in the display. Press the Value keys to change the margin setting and press the Enter keys to save the setting. If you shift the left margin, you may want to shift the right margin by the same amount. Close the keypad door to exit Setup Mode. The LCD will read: Press Profile To Save Settings 12. Press Profile key to save settings. 13. Place the On/Off Line key to place the printer back on line. 3-12 Forms Handling User’s Guide 3.4 Top of Form Adjustment (Adjusting First Printline Location) NOTE Perform this adjustment immediately after loading paper to determine where the first line will print. Making this adjustment while printing on the page allows fine alignment without resetting line count. When paper is loaded into the printer, the printer automatically positions the paper to print on the first line of the form. If you need to change the location of the first print line, use the Adjust Form key and proceed as follows: 1. To place the printer in Top-of-Form Adjust Mode, open the Keypad Door and press the Adjust Form key. The form will advance until the bottom of the first print line is positioned just above the tear off bar for viewing (Figure 3-9). (For units equipped with cut sheet option, open the Top Access Cover and use the metal tear edge just above the top rollers.) 2. Use the Value s and Value t keys to move the paper up or down to the position desired for first line of type. The line directly above the tear bar will be the first print line (Figure 3-9). 3. Press the Adjust Form key or close Keypad Door. The printer will reverse feed the form back to print position. 4. This adjustment affects the Load feature and is automatically saved in memory for the current profile and will apply the next time forms are loaded. Forms Handling 3-13 User’s Guide Figure 3-9: Set First Print Line 3-14 Forms Handling User’s Guide 3.5 Tear Off Adjustment In a demand document application, the form will be advanced to a tear off position when the Tear Off key is pressed. When the forms are in this position, the last printed form may be removed by pulling the perforation against the tear edge of the cover. If the perforation does not come to rest at the tear edge, the tear off distance may be adjusted as follows: 1. Press the Tear Off key. The form should move up to the current tear location. NOTE By adjusting the tear distance to a large value, the form can be fed through a countertop, for example, if the printer is located under a counter. 2. Using the Adjust s key or the Adjust t key, move the paper until the perforation is located at the desired tear off position. 3. Press the Tear Off key. The form will return to the current print position. 4. This adjustment affects the Tear Distance feature and is automatically saved in memory for the current profile and will be applied when forms are reloaded. Forms Handling 3-15 User’s Guide NOTE For cut sheet units, to avoid excessive opening and closing of the Top Exit Cover when alternating between short cut sheet forms and continuous tractor forms, adjust the tear bar (metal edge located immediately above top rollers) by using this procedure. (The value will be about 1-40/144 inches.) NOTE The function of the Tear Off key is affected by the Manual Tear feature located in the Forms Control Menu. Refer to Chapter 4 for a description of this feature. 3-16 Forms Handling User’s Guide Figure 3-10: Printer Located Under Countertop For...
