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

switch-on, the carriage moves to the left-hand side of the printer and pressesagainst the seesaw lever, thus pushing the seesaw outwards. This causes the see-saw 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 thegear shaft front, the gear shaft rear or the friction front and rear. The gear shaftscontrol the position of the gears which are used to drive tractors 1, 2 and 3, sheetfeeder rear (ASF-R) and sheet feeder front (ASF-F) respectively.
3.2.2Pushbar position check The home position sensor checks the position of the pushbar and, therefore, the se-
lected paper source. There is a position ruler located on the pushbar. After switch-on, the photoelectric barrier in the home position sensor scans this ruler; it moves tothe next ridge edge and measures the width of the ridge. The position of thepushbar is fed back to the firmware in this way.

Pushbar in forward-mostposition (position 1)
The gear shaft front (80, see chapter 6, Spare parts and schematics) has lifted thegear (82) from the left-hand side wall (away from the wall). Tractor 2 is driven as aresult.
Pushbar in position 2 If the pushbar moves a further 5.5 mm, the flat gear (76) on the rear of the side wallis moved by the gear shaft rear (81, see chapter 6, Spare parts and schematics)) in-wards (against the wall) and thus engages with the bottom gear (93). Tractor 3 isnow driven by the gear (77).

3.2.4Single-sheet mode
ASF-R The pushbar moves to position 6, at which point the tractors are idle, and the frictionis switched on. The pushbar then moves to position 5. The gear (76) moves to posi-tion 2 (away from the side wall), thus rendering inactive the gear (77) used to drivetractor 3. The only operative gear (74) is the one used to drive the ASF-R. The LFmotor 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 swit-ches to friction. Paper is transported to the PE sensor position by reverse steps ofthe LF motor. Then the sense of rotation is inversed. Paper transport is effected byfriction, the ASF-F is in the free-wheel position. The paper transport in the ASF-F isonly activated for printer reverse motion. If much paper is to be fed back, pushbarposition 5 is used.
Manual sheet feeder The pushbar moves to position 6, and the gear (82) is lifted (position 2) and swit-ches to friction. The manual sheet feeder transports paper to the PE sensor. Thepushbar then returns to position 5, the gear (82) moves centre between the positionagainst and away from the wall and the paper is pulled in by means of the friction.
3.2.5Changeover to tractormode
If tractor mode is to be re-engaged, the pushbar moves to its initial position (1) andboth frictions are switched off. Tractor selection can then commence.
3.2.6Changeover to AGAmode
As soon as the carriage moves to the right, the motor FAW starts the AGA. Thegear (72) in the seesaw is fixed in position when the FAW motor is switched toAGA.

Press the Online key to start the test printout.
Example of a AGA testprintout
The following section does not describe the contents of the printout in detail but me-rely 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] The value of the spurious pulses must be in a range from 1 to15. The lower the value is, the better.
max[300mV] The value of the measuring pulses must be in a range from 1to 15. The higher the value, the better.The AGA measuring result is at its most reliable the greaterthe difference between the lim- and max-values.
width[400ms] Active pulse width; the value must be greater than 6.
try Number of measurement attempts; several attempts indicatethat a fault may exit in the AGA feature.
dist Theoretical print head distance; measured values should notdiffer substantially (18 is the approximate standard distancefor single-layer 80 g/m2 paper).

4.5Parallelism This test mode is used for checking and adjusting the parallelism of print head and
platen.
Make sure that the ribbon cassette and paper is removed from the printer.
After activating the parallelism mode the printer measures first the distance on theright side (yyy) than the distance on the left side (xxx).
If the difference between the right and the left measurement is ≤ 6, the result of theparallelism measurement is correct and the display looks like above.
Press any key to exit the parallelism mode.
If the difference between the right and the left measurement is >= 12, the result ofthe parallelism measurement is not correct. In the display appears:
In this case you must adjust the adjusting lever (item 40, page 6-4) at the right sidewall.
If the value yyy is higher as the value xxx: turn the adjusting lever to the rear.
If the value yyy is lower as the value xxx: turn the adusting lever to the front.
Press any key, the printer measures the parallelism again.
You must repeat this procedure, until the questionmarks behind PARALLELdisappear. Now the parallelism is established.
Press any key to exit the parallelism mode.
Ensure that the adjusting lever is not too far forward as the AGA measuring pointcan otherwise not be found.
