LP 7  (260-1167)               Paper Loading           Faxback Doc. # 5948

Turn off the power switch before loading the paper.

1) Remove the printer cover.

2) Lift up the paper holders on both sides.

3) Adjust the sprocket until spacing to accommodate the paper so that the
   paper will be neither stretched too tightly nor loose and wrinkled.

NOTE: When loading the paper into the Printer, you should set the paper at
      the position shown in Figure 3, leaving approximately 3/4" between
      the left edge of the Printer and the center of the left sprocket
      holes.

4) Insert the paper from the rear of the Printer.

5) The paper will appear from between the ribbon and the platen.  Fit the
   paper's punched holes over the sprocket pins and lower the paper
   holders.

Be sure the paper feeds into the tractor mechanism, as shown in Figure 4-B.
Also be sure to minimize the "drag" of the paper.  When using multi-part
forms, you may need to position the paper supply closer to the level of the
tractor, not on the floor.

6) Manually set the position of the paper by rotating the paper feed dial
   forward.

7) Put on the printer cover.

NOTE: Keep the paper to be fed into the Printer in line with the sprocket
      pins so that it will feed smoothly.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE PRINT HEAD IMPACT PRESSURE

You may adjust a lever on the print head according to the thickness of the
paper.  When you are using single part paper, position 1 will be
appropriate.  Use position 2 or 3 when you want to make multiple copies.
When adjusting the lever, make sure that it is placed directly in the
desired click hole, not between two of them.

CAUTION: Do not try to move the print head manually.

PRINT STARTING POSITION

As described in Figure 7, printing starts at the position about 1.2" away
from the left edge of the Printer.
