Printing on fanfold paper

Two useful features of this printer that facilitate the use of continuous stationery are paper
parking (fanfold paper can remain installed in the printer while you temporarily switch to
printing on single sheets), and the tear-off function (you can remove printed output without
losing the current paper position). These are described in the following sections.
You can also use the same paper position adjustment techniques, such as line feed and form
feed, that you use with single cut sheets.
You can also set a new auto load position (the distance from the top of each new page at
which the printer automatically starts printing) specifically for fanfold paper. This is inde-
pendent of the cut sheet auto load position. Both auto load positions can be saved as part of
a macro, so that you do not have to reset them each time you switch the printer off and on
again.
