A-2 Bottom-Feed Tractors

Selecting a Printer Stand

You'll need a sturdy printer stand with a paper slot through which paper
can be fed. The paper slot permits pin-feed paper to feed straight up
from below the printer to the bottom-feed tractors. When selecting a
printer stand, observe the following guidelines:

9 The stand must be sturdy enough to support the weight of the printer:

53 pounds (24.1 kg).

9 The table top must be wide enough to hold the printer: 24 inches

(61 cm). It must also be at least 17 inches (43.2 cm) deep.

9 The paper slot must be wide enough for the paper you intend to use

and at least 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) deep.

9 The stand should contain shelves or bins for paper entering and

exiting the printer.

Activating the Bottom-Feed Tractors

Move the tractor select indicator to the rear position. Then, set the BIN
parameter on the Setup menu to the Bottom setting. If you're not sure
how to use the Setup menu, refer to the Control Panel section of this
guide.
