HORIZONTAL POSITIONING OF THE PAPER

5000 Series Quick Reference Guide
Some extremely thin forms, stiff cardstock, forms with raised labels,
or envelopes with cutouts may not work with this loading process. If
you experience problems, load the paper manually.
With the print gap wheel in the LOAD position, the paper tension lever at
position 1, and the upper tractor doors open, complete the following
steps:
1. Load the paper onto the lower tractors by placing the paper on at
least three pins of each tractor, making certain that the paper is
aligned horizontally across the two lower tractors. Close the tractor
doors.
2. Open the upper tractor doors.
3. Press and hold the ^ arrow key to move the paper up through the
printer and into the upper tractors. Tug gently as the paper is placed
over the pins of the upper tractors to make certain there is no excess
slack or folds in the paper between the upper and lower tractors.
4. Close the upper tractor doors. Unlock and adjust the upper right
tractor as needed.
The column indicator label (5050/5100 models) is located on the ribbon
shield just below the left upper tractor. Complete the following steps for
proper paper positioning.
1. Check the column indicator label located on the ribbon shield to
determine if the paper needs to be realigned horizontally.
2. If a left margin is desired, it can be set electronically through either
the control panel keys or a command sent by the host.
• The marks on the label are set up for paper with a 1/2-inch
perforation strip.
• Aligning the edge of the paper with the first mark will cause the
first column to print immediately after the perforation strip.
Aligning the edge of the paper with the mark labeled 1.0 will
cause the first column to print 1 inch from the edge. If printing
will be at 6 characters per inch, this position is column 6 on the
paper after the perforation strip.
