= SUMMARY =

If you print from Microsoft Word versions 5.00 or 5.50 to an IBM 4019 LaserPrinter with the PostScript option with the paper feed set to continuous and the previous print job was manual feed, error code 3 will display in the status window and the paper source light will point to the manual feed tray.

To make the printer pull from tray 1, do the following:


 * 1) Press the Paper Source button until tray 1 is lit, then press the Start/Stop button. The paper will now be pulled from tray 1.

To eliminate the error in subsequent print jobs, do the following:


 * 1) Press the Start/Stop button to take the printer off line.
 * 2) Press the Paper Source button until tray 1 is lit.
 * 3) Press the Start/Stop button to place the printer online.

The printer will now pull from tray 1 when a continuous print job is sent.
