How to Select the Paper Path
The paper can be loaded into the printer using different paper paths. The messages indicating
the paper paths are shown only if the corresponding loading device is installed on the printer.
Proceed as follows:
1. Press the READY key to put the printer offline (the READY indicator is unlit).
2. Press the PATH key, according to the installed devices the following messages are displayed:
LOAD LOWER PUSH
For the lower push tractor paper path.
LOAD UPPER PUSH
For the upper push tractor paper path (9078D Model only).
LOAD MANUAL
For the manual cut sheet paper path (9078 Model only).
LOAD PUSH-PULL
For the paper path using the lower push tractor and the optional rear pull
tractor.
LOAD ASF1
Loading a cut sheet from the first bin of the automatic sheet feeder.
LOAD ASF2
Loading a cut sheet from the second bin of the automatic sheet feeder.
LOAD ASF3
Loading a cut sheet from the third bin of the automatic sheet feeder.
• To load fanfold paper go to “Loading Paper Using the Lower Tractor” or “Loading Paper
Using the Upper Tractor”.
• To load manual cut sheets go to “Loading Cut Sheets”.
• For using paper with the Automatic Sheet Feeder option, consult the documentation you
receive together with the option.
When a new paper path is selected, the paper loaded in the printer is automatically
parked/ejected.
89
How to Use the Tear-Off Function
This function is used to match the paper perforation with the tear-off bar. For this function the
following values must be set:
Selection of the Paper Size
1. Press the PROGRAM key when the printer is disabled or enabled without printing to enter the
Program Setup.
2. Press the ↓ key and the following message appears:
USER MACRO
3. Press the → key to select the macro for which you want to set the paper size (MACRO#1,
MACRO#2, MACRO#3 or MACRO#4).
4. Once the desired macro is displayed press the ↓ key until the following parameter is
displayed:
LENGTH xx
5. Press the → or ← key until the desired page size is displayed.
6. Press again the PROGRAM key to exit the menu end set the new value.
90
Adjusting the Tear-Off Position
The default value for the Tear-Off Function is TEAR NORMAL. To check the Tear-Off Position
proceed as follows:
1. To move the paper to the Tear-Off position, press the ON LINE key when the printer is
disabled or enabled without printing.
2. Check if the paper perforation matches the tear-off bar on the printer.
If it does not:
1. Press the PROGRAM key to enter the Program Setup.
2. Press the ↓ key until the following message appears:
USER MACRO
3. Press the → key until the macro for which you want to adjust the tear-off is displayed (#1,
#2, #3 or #4):
MACRO # x
4. Press the ↓ key until the following message is displayed:
TEAR ADJUST xxx
5. Press the → or ← key to scroll the values of this function.
The values below 0 move the tear-off position downwards, values above 0 move the paper
upwards. The values can be set between -30 and 360 at 1/180 inches (-1/6 to 2 inches).
6. When the desired value is displayed, press the PROGRAM key. The storage options are
displayed.
7. Press the → or ← key, until the following message is displayed:
STORE? SAVE
8. Press the PROGRAM key to exit from the menu.
91
Selection of the Tear-Off Mode
It is now possible to select the Tear-Off Mode.
1. Press the PROGRAM key when the printer is disabled or enabled without printing to enter the
Program Setup.
2. Press the ↓ key. The following message is displayed:

Pressing again the ON LINE key, the paper is moved to the printing position.
If the ON LINE key is not pressed for 10 seconds, the paper moves automatically
back to the print position.
TEAR AUTOMATIC
If the printer is not receiving data, the paper is moved automatically to the tear
position.
LABEL
The ON LINE key is disabled for the tear-off function. This selection is useful
when printing on labels. Pressing the PARK key, the printer ejects the paper
towards the back of the printer.
TEAR NO
The Tear-Off function is disabled
5. Press the PROGRAM key to exit the setup.
92
How to Lock/Unlock the Access to the Printer Setups
To prevent not expertise persons changing the printer setup parameters, it is possible to
lock/unlock the access to the printer setups as follows:
• Press ON LINE, MACRO and SHIFT keys at the same time and keep them pressed while powering
the printer on. As soon as these keys are released, the following messages will be displayed:
9078 plus
or
9078D plus
then,
LOCKED MENU
Now the access to the printer setups is locked. If the PROGRAM key is pressed, the LOCKED MENU
message is displayed (the PROGRAM key is disabled).
• If you decide to unlock the printer setup, turn the printer off, then press the ON LINE, MACRO and
SHIFT keys at the same time and keep them pressed while powering the printer on again. As soon
as these keys are released, the following messages will be displayed:
9078 plus
