A hundred years ago, we had the IBM 1403 line printers. When the box of paper ran out, the printer hood automatically raised and we would kick the empty box out and drop in a new full box. Press the close hood button, and then the printer would continue printing. Maybe the was a printer online button as well. I forget now.
