2–15 Setting Up the Printer
Load Paper
1. Install the paper entrance guide.
2. Install the paper exit guide.
3. Raise the top of the printer by firmly pressing the top cover latch on the
left side of the front panel. (See Figure 2–11.)
4. Insert paper into the front of the printer. Press the tension release as
required to insert the paper.
5. Unlock the tractors by pushing up the tractor locks.
6. Open the tractor gates on the tractor unit, place the paper on the pins,
and close the tractor gates.
7. Adjust the width of the tractors so that the paper is tight.
8. Lock the tractor unit by pushing down on the tractor locks.
9. To ensure that the printer will start at the top of a page, check the
following:
a. The leading edge of the paper should be straight; not torn,
crooked, or curled.
b. The leading edge of the paper should not extend beyond the
tractors. This allows the printer to set the top of form accurately
and automatically at the leading edge of the paper.
10. Close the top cover of the printer.
NOTE: Repeat the paper loading procedure whenever top of form needs to
be reset (e.g., after clearing a paper jam, loading new paper, etc.).
For details on clearing paper jams, refer to the “Diagnostics and
Troubleshooting”
chapter.
