train-incrementor button), the cause of the overload condition may also have
been cleared. Attempt to return the printer to normal operation.

the cartridge (see

Cartridge Removal") and push the train-incrementor
button. If the train drive turns freely, install another cartridge if available,
return the printer to operation, and call for service on the faulty cartridge. If
the train drive binds or does not turn

Forms Jam
When forms are feeding improperly due to forms separation or disengagement from the
feed pins, the printer stops, FORM CHECK turns on, and the printer cover opens.
1.
Open the swing gate by pulling out on the swipg-gate release lever.
2.
Inspect the forms in the area of the print line. If forms are not separated or
damaged and appear to be feeding properly, check for a paper chad or other
debris covering the forms-sensing device in the lower tractor. This can cause
a false indication. Also check the black strip on the separator frame opposite
the forms-sensing device. A buildup of paper dust on the strip can cause a
fa lse check.
