Problem

Solutions: The IBM Proprinter III XL has a front load sheet feeder that must be turned OFF on the printer menu settings when printing labels. The labels are pulled by tractor on top of the printer, and the printer does not recognize the paper size code if the sheet feeder is turned on. The sheet feeder is the second option on the menu. Here's how to change it:

The IBM Proprinter III XL Menu Setting

1.      Hold down the ON-LINE button while TURNING THE PRINTER ON. (This will print out the current settings.)

2.      When press the PROPARK button and the printer should beep.
      (This lets you know you are at the first setting.)

3.      Looking at the printout it will tell you what the first option is, and whether it is now on or off. If you want the first option changed then press the NLQ button, and it will change it from off to on or vice versa. Always refer to the printout to see what the current settings are, so that you will know what the change will be.

4.      Continue to use the PROPARK button to move to each consecutive setting. If you don't want to change a setting then just press PROPARK to go to the next one.

5.       At any time you may end the menu by pressing ON-LINE.

6.      You may wish to do the first step again to get the print out and verify that the changes have been made.

Disabling the sheet feeder is also necessary when printing labels with the IBM Proprinter X24E. The steps for doing so are, however, a little different. They are as follows:

1.      Hold down the ON-LINE button while TURNING THE PRINTER ON. (This will print out the current settings.)
2.      If the second option Sheet Feeder is on, press PITCH twice, press LQ once, then press ON-LINE.
3.      The new switch setting should print showing the second option (SF) to off.
