LP 5  (260-1165)               Paper Loading           Faxback Doc. # 5669

The Printer will accept any standard tractor-feed paper from mailing label
strips up to 15" (standard 132-character paper).  Paper can be single or
multi-part, up to 5 parts total.

1. Remove the clear plastic cover.

2. Move the Penetration Control LOCK all the way forward, then slide the
   Penetration Control Lever all the way to the right.

3. Insert paper through paper entry slot on bottom edge of the back of the
   unit.  Slide paper forward into unit until the leading edge protrudes
   from paper exit slot just below the platen.  Grasp the leading edge of
   paper and pull out about six inches.

NOTE: There is another paper-entry slot in the bottom center of the
      Printer.  Use this slot if you Printer Stand allows paper to enter
      directly into the bottom of the Printer.  This is convenient for
      loading paper directly out the paper box.

4. Unsnap and lift the tractor-paper holders.  Lay the paper over the
   tractor sprockets.  Align paper holes with the sprockets, and snap paper
   holders back onto the sprockets with paper in-between.

NOTE: To adjust the spacing of the tractor mechanism to fit the paper,
      loosen the sprocket adjusting screw and slide tractor to the correct
      position.  Adjust so that paper is neither stretched tightly nor
      loosened and wrinkled.

5. Adjust the Penetration Control for optimum print quality as follows:

SINGLE-PART FORMS

Slide the Penetration Control all the way to the left for maximum
penetration.  Then slide Penetration Control LOCK back to lock position.

MULTI-PART FORMS

Slide the Penetration Control to the left until there is smudging when you
manually move the carriage head right and left across the paper.  Now move
the control slightly to the right until there is no smudging when you move
the carriage.  Slide Penetration LOCK back to lock position.
