Paper specifications
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.

Functional description
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.

Pushbar in position 2
If the pushbar moves a further 5.5 mm, the flat gear (76) on the rear of the side wall is moved by the gear shaft rear (81, see chapter 6, Spare parts and schematics)) inwards (against the wall) and thus engages with the bottom gear (93). Tractor 3 is now driven by the gear (77). FAW motor Position 2 Pushbar LF motor Gear (76)

Pushbar in backwardThe pusher on the pushbar moves arm on the friction axle backwards as far as it most position (position 6) will go, thus switching the friction on. The front and rear friction are actuated, and both axles are moved from 45 degrees front to 45 degrees rear position. FAW motor Position 6 Pushbar LF motor

manuals4you.com
Functional description
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.
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.
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.

Various tests to check proper operation of the printer are available at any time. With these tests it is possible to check the print quality, proper operation of the print head and the mechanics, as well as efficient data transmission from the computer to the printer. Furthermore, you may select settings to define the basic form length, to activate or deactivate the automatic print head gap function; there are also settings to facilitate handling paper of complicated structure or poor quality and the parallel interface. Finally, you can set line wrap and beep at paper end.

Rolling ASCII
With the rolling ASCII test you can test whether your printer is functioning properly (independently from your computer). You can select either 80 or 136 characters per line. (For the narrow printer, only the ASCII test with 80 characters per line is displayed.) You can interrupt the test if you for example want to change the line density by pressing the Online key. To exit the ASCII test, the printer must be turned off.
This test can also be used to determine and set the optimal print head gap (see the reference manual on CD-ROM, section Setting the print head distance).

Interface test (Hex-Dump)
With the interface test (Hex-Dump or H-Dump) you can check data transfer from computer to printer. The text which is being transmitted to the printer is printed in two parts. In the left part the text is printed in hexadecimal format, and in the right in ASCII format. Hex-Dump mode can only be terminated by switching off the printer.
After the transmission you must switch the printer to Offline. Any remaining data left in the interface buffer is then printed. If you want to stop the Hex-Dump printout before switching off the printer, press the key Online.

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 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.
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.

Troubleshooting
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 .
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).
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.).
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.
