Printing paper Set of forms
Recycling paper made of 100% waste paper (to DIN 19 309) can be processed. Sets of forms may be used only if the top edge is bound. The binding edge should be as soft as possible. A wavy binding edge may hamper the smooth feeding of these sets. Multi-part forms have to be inserted with the glued top facing down. Multi-part forms should be tested for suitability. Light pulp paper of medium fine quality, paper bearing the quality mark SM Post and photocopy paper are suitable for use. Unsuitable are: satin-finisch or coated papers, imitation art papers, and embossed papers. Since paper as natural material reacts strongly to environmental influences (e.g. humidity, temperature), the place of storage should be selected carefully. We recommend that this kind of paper should be tested extensively before larger quantities are acquired. Should papers with a dark reverse side be used, these should also be tested for their functionality. Please pay attention to the use of infrared reflecting colors, when acquiring these papers.

Mechanical functions FAW
3.2 Mechanical functions FAW

3.2.1 Function
The motor FAW controls the pushbar which is used to select the functions. After switch-on, the carriage moves to the left-hand side of the printer and presses against the seesaw lever, thus pushing the seesaw outwards. This causes the seesaw to tilt, and the FAW motor proceeds to control paper tray selection. The pushbar can execute 6 steps, each 5.5 mm apart. It engages with either the gear shaft front, the gear shaft rear or the friction front and rear. The gear shafts control the position of the gears which are used to drive tractors 1, 2 and 3, sheet feeder rear (ASF-R) and sheet feeder front (ASF-F) respectively.
3.2.2 Pushbar position check
The home position sensor checks the position of the pushbar and, therefore, the selected paper source. There is a position ruler located on the pushbar. After switchon, the photoelectric barrier in the home position sensor scans this ruler; it moves to the next ridge edge and measures the width of the ridge. The position of the pushbar is fed back to the firmware in this way.

3.2.4 Single-sheet mode

ASF-R The pushbar moves to position 6, at which point the tractors are idle, and the friction is switched on. The pushbar then moves to position 5. The gear (76) moves to position 2 (away from the side wall), thus rendering inactive the gear (77) used to drive tractor 3. The only operative gear (74) is the one used to drive the ASF-R. The LF motor moves back and forth to synchronise the ASF-R clutch in load position.
ASF-F
The pushbar moves to position 6, and the gear (82) is lifted (position 2) and switches to friction. Paper is transported to the PE sensor position by reverse steps of the LF motor. Then the sense of rotation is inversed. Paper transport is effected by friction, the ASF-F is in the free-wheel position. The paper transport in the ASF-F is only activated for printer reverse motion. If much paper is to be fed back, pushbar position 5 is used. The pushbar moves to position 6, and the gear (82) is lifted (position 2) and switches to friction. The manual sheet feeder transports paper to the PE sensor. The pushbar then returns to position 5, the gear (82) moves centre between the position against and away from the wall and the paper is pulled in by means of the friction.
Manual sheet feeder
3.2.5 Changeover to tractor mode
If tractor mode is to be re-engaged, the pushbar moves to its initial position (1) and both frictions are switched off. Tractor selection can then commence.
3.2.6 Changeover to AGA mode
As soon as the carriage moves to the right, the motor FAW starts the AGA. The gear (72) in the seesaw is fixed in position when the FAW motor is switched to AGA.

4.4 AGA test
This test is used for checking the function of the AGA feature. After activating the AGA test the printer changes over to the rolling ASCII test. Select the parameter ASCII136 or ASCII80 in accordance with the paper inserted (ASCII 136 is only displayed on the wide printer). The printer changes to the Offline mode and various numbers appear in the top line of the display. Press the Online key to start the test printout.
Example of a AGA test printout
The following section does not describe the contents of the printout in detail but merely explains the global meanings, or the limit values not reached or exceeded. In this example, the line lim[300mV] max[300mV] width[400ms] try dist
gives the following informations lim[300mV] max[300mV] The value of the spurious pulses must be in a range from 1 to 15. The lower the value is, the better. The value of the measuring pulses must be in a range from 1 to 15. The higher the value, the better. The AGA measuring result is at its most reliable the greater the difference between the lim- and max-values. Active pulse width; the value must be greater than 6. Number of measurement attempts; several attempts indicate that a fault may exit in the AGA feature. Theoretical print head distance; measured values should not differ substantially (18 is the approximate standard distance for single-layer 80 g/m2 paper).

Troubleshooting
4.6 Troubleshooting
Many of the faults and problems which may occur while using the printer are minor problems which you can solve yourself. The following chapter should help you to distinguish between a simple operating error and a major malfunction. This chapter provides information on the rectification of faults without the assistance of specially trained personnel. Follow the advice and tips in this chapter if your printer is not working correctly. Important notes on the care and maintenance of your printer can be found at the end of this chapter.
The display remains dark
The printer is switched on, but nothing happens (nothing is displayed, no noise). Switch off the printer and proceed as follows: 1. Check that the power plug is correctly connected to the socket on the printer. 2. Check that the power plug is seated properly in the wall socket. 3. Switch on the printer again. If the printer is now connected correctly then the LED for the selected sheet feeder lights up, Online is shown on the display and the print head moves to the start position. If these steps do not eliminate the fault: Replace the power cord and repeat step 3. Check that power flows at the socket e.g. using a desk lamp, if necessary use a different socket and repeat step 3. Contact your dealer if the printer cannot be powered up.
STOP
Do not attempt to open the printer. You might suffer an electric shock.
The display is lit, but the printer does not print
1. Check that the printer is Online. If the displays shows Offline, then press the key Online. Try to print again. 2. Check the connection from the printer to the computer (interface cable). Check that the interface cable is properly connected to the computer and to the printer. Check that it is the correct interface cable for your printer. Information on the interface is located in the section Connecting the printer and in chapter Interfaces of the reference manual on CD-ROM. Check that the printer is properly adapted to the computer (configured). Refer to the reference manual on CD-ROM, chapter Operation. Check the parameter set in the Setup menu under I/O (serial/parallel) and if necessary correct it. 3. Check that paper is inserted and loaded. Refer to the reference manual on CDROM, section Loading paper.

Problems with the paper feed
The paper is not fed in. 1. Check that the display shows the correct paperway, if necessary select the correct paperway (single sheet or fanfold) with the key Paper. See the reference manual on CD-ROM, section Changing the paper type. 2. Make sure that the paper guide is correctly adjusted at the side. 3. When using single sheets, push the paper fully into the paper feed. When having torn off the fanfold paper and after switching over from fanfold paper to single sheets, the fanfold paper moves to the park position. 4. Check that the fanfold paper is in the park position when you insert a single sheet. This means the fanfold paper should not be loaded (pulled in). To check this, raise the guide of the single sheet feeder. If necessary, drive the remaining paper manually to the park position with the key .
Paper jam (fanfold paper)
Open the top cover. If a paper jam should occur, then remove the jammed paper by tearing it off at the tear off edge (the tear off edge is located at the outfeed for the fanfold paper). Press the key to transport the paper backwards (substitutes manual knob). You may support the paper return feed by cautiously pulling the paper in the correct direction. Before you replace the fanfold paper, refer to the instructions in the section Loading paper of the reference manual on CD-ROM. You should pay special attention to the following points: Insert the paper straight. After inserting the paper, close the tractors. Adjust the tractors, the paper should be positioned in the tractors straight but without tension. Adjust the print head gap to the paper thickness (multiple forms, etc.). Clean upper friction (see section Care and Maintenance of the reference manual on CD-ROM).
Paper jam (single sheets)
Open the top cover and remove the paper manually or with the functions LF (line feed)/FF (form feed) in Offline mode from the printer. Before you replace the single sheet, refer to the instructions in the section Loading paper single sheets of the reference manual on CD-ROM. Pay attention to the following points: Set single sheet feed to the corresponding paper width. Insert the paper straight as far as possible. Adjust the print head gap to the paper thickness (multiple forms, etc.).
Paper does not move to tear off position
It is only possible to tear off when fanfold paper is used, refer to the section Moving paper to the tear position of the reference manual on CD-ROM.

6.3.1 Preparing the printer
Switch the printer on. Enter setup mode, select the PapOpt menu option and activate the ASF-F parameter. Subsequently select the ASF-F either in setup mode (see Reference Manual, chapter The menu) or via the paper source quick selection function (see Reference Manual, chapter Paper path quick selection) or via an application program.
