LOADING PAPER
1.
Before loading paper into the printer, first lift the front cover and open the gates for the left
and right pin feed units. Make sure the left pin feed unit is locked in place at the extreme
left margin.
2.
Feed paper down through the slanted opening in the top of the printer. The paper will
follow the forward paper pan and come up to the pin feed tractors.
3.
Place the top sheet in the paper feed tractors. Make sure the holes are aligned so that the top
of the sheet is parallel with the top of the printer. If necessary, loosen the fixing knob on
top of the right pin feed unit and move the unit to accommodate the width of the paper.
When properly adjusted, tighten the fixing knob.
4.
Close the gates for the pin feed units, then close the forward cover.

1.
With the printer turned on, press the TOP OF FORM Switch. This aligns the top of
form hole in the vertical format paper tape, directly over the light source in the paper
tape reader.
2.
Use the platen knob to adjust the paper so that the desired top line on the form is
aligned vertically with the print head. This adjustment is performed by pulling out the
platen knob and rotating it in either direction. Once aligned, each time a Form Feed
code (octal 014) is received or the TOP OF FORM Switch is pressed, the paper will
slew to this same line at the top of the next form.
