The printer will form feed, but when you try to print to it from the display or from ultrasound unit all it does is beep. I think it may be the main bd. what do you think?

I think it is mechanical problem so go out and fix it up.

Mustafa:

The printer is not meant to use multi-copy carbon invoices. The cause of your problem is the double-feed prevention pad below the paper pickup roller. When the first form is fed, the double feed prevention pad will stop multiple paper feeds. With multi-page carbons, the paper feed roller is trying to feed the form, and is pulling the top page of the form into the feed rollers while the double-feed prevention pad is stopping the bottom form from feeding and the top and bottom pages are sliding because of the carbon paper between the sheets. The only solution that I know of is to buy a printer with a tractor feed and pre-printed fan-fold forms with tractor feed strips on the sides of the forms.

Am afraid the Power Surge (when the power came back on) has damaged the unit and there is no "Reset" to these printers. You would need to replace the control board but as its a power surge there is a reasonable chance that the power supply will have been damaged/weakened and this will lead to a shortened life span of the printer. I would throw it away and replace with new. sorry, ( I am not a salesman either)

Generally the form feed character is sent by your software. Try setting the page length in the printer setup to be the length of one label.

Perform these operations:

• Test->Diag->Clear->NVRAM
• Test->Diag->Clear->CalData
• Then re-calibrate the printer.

Procedures:

1. Turn ON the Tech Access feature (hold ENTER and LINE FEED keys depressed approx. 5 seconds - until printer "beeps")
2. Turn ON the Fault Override feature (hold ENTER and FORM FEED keys depressed approx. 5 seconds - until printer "beeps")
3. Press the MENU key then UP Arrow to Offline - Test Menu
4. Press ENTER then UP Arrow to Test Menu - Diag
5. Press ENTER then UP Arrow to Diag - Calibrations
6. Press ENTER then UP Arrow to Calibrations - Print Engine Cal
7. Press ENTER and follow the instructions on the display
8. Turn OFF the Fault Override feature by holding the ENTER and FORM FEED keys depressed until the printer "beeps"
9. Turn OFF the Tech Access feature by holding the ENTER and LINE FEED keys depressed until the printer "beeps"

you can check your paper size or the tear of poit and set it to that point.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and the desired tractor is selected (the corresponding tractor arrow should be lit).
2. Open the upper cover.
3. Press the Top of Form button to enter top-of-form mode. The printer beeps once, and the Top of Form light turns on.
4. Use the Micro Feed buttons to feed the paper to the desired top-of-form position. The “A” on the ribbon protector shows you where the bottom edge of your first line of text will print. This position is based on the first printable line of text. If your software inserts a top margin of five lines, your text will actually print five lines below the top-of-form position.
5. Press the Top of Form button again to exit and save your new top-of-form position. Then close the top cover.

Hi,

You can give this a try. This will alter the top of form setting.
