2. Set Continuous Forms Linking = Enabled in the Printer Setup section of the

Configuration Menu. This tells the printer to automatically switch to the second

push path when the first reaches end-of-forms.

3. If the job does not contain the forms path selection commands, use the

PARK/PATH key, select either Front or Rear as the current path.

4. Press START to make the printer Ready.

5. Send your job to the printer.

How forms linking works

When the printer reaches end-of-forms on the current path, it automatically will

switch to the second continuous forms path and perform a load operation. If forms

are mounted on the tractor pins, printing will continue. If left completely

unattended, the printer will print using the second box of forms until either the job

is finished or the end-of-forms is reached for the second forms source. The ‘001

END OF FORMS’ message will only be displayed on the operator panel when both

of the continuous forms paths are empty.

While the printer is printing on the second path, you could again load forms onto

the pins of the first tractor. If you do this, the printer will again switch

automatically when it reaches end-of-forms. You can continue doing this

indefinitely. As long as forms are loaded on the pins of the other tractor, the

printer will automatically switch to that tractor when the current tractor reaches

end-of-forms. The ‘001 END OF FORMS’ message will only be displayed on the

operator panel when both of the continuous forms paths are empty.

Parking one continuous form and loading another

The 4247 printer can have two continuous forms loaded at the same time. The

topics below explain how you can take advantage of this feature and free yourself

from having to reload forms when you need to print on a different form.

Parking a continuous form

1. Press PARK/PATH. If forms are currently loaded from the Front Push or Rear

Push forms paths, the printer displays:

091 FANFOLD PARK

TEAR OUTPUT PRESS PARK

Or if forms are loaded in the Front Push forms path with FRONT FORMS

BACKUP set to DISABLED or in the Rear Push forms path with REAR FORMS

BACKUP set to DISABLED, the printer displays:

092 FANFOLD EJECT

TEAR INPUT PRESS EJECT

2. Press STOP and perform the action requested on the operator panel display.

3. Press PARK/PATH to back the forms below the print line or press

LOAD/EJECT to eject the last sheet.

Changing the forms path

Select another continuous form as follows:

1. Ensure that a form is in the tractors of the desired alternate forms path.

2. Press PARK/PATH again to change the forms path on the operator panel

display to the desired alternate forms path.
