Pull Tractor
6. Move the paper-release lever to the pull-tractor position.
7. Attach the continuous paper to the pull tractor as described in
Chapter 2.
8. Pull out on the gear at the right side of the pull tractor and turn
it to remove any slack in the paper between the push and pull
tractors.
9. Place the notches on the paper guide straight down over the
mounting posts on the printer.
10. Slide both edge guides to the middle of the paper guide. Slightly
lift the paper guide and then lower it until it rests on the
printer.
11. Replace the printer cover by inserting the front tabs into the
slots on the printer and then lowering the cover into place.
Note: When you want to print several pages of continuous
paper, fold the first page forward at the perforation after the
perforation emerges from below the printer cover. This helps the
printer feed the printed pages properly and prevents paper jams.
