cassette, first remove paper from the paper cassette. Then push
Using Continuous Paper with Optional Push Tractor
the paper support in while pushing
down on the locking tab.
You can use the Optional push tractor to print on continuous paper
from 101 mm (4 inches) to 254 mm (10 inches) wide.
l The default page length for the paper cassette is 65 lines
(A4-size
paper) or 61 lines (letter-size paper). You can change it using
your application software or printer commands, if necessary.
l You can switch to manual insertion or to the optional push
tractor without removing the paper cassette.
Loading paper manually
You can load single sheets of paper from the rear manual insertion
slot. (If you’ve installed the optional push tractor, remove it before
loading paper manually.)
1. Place the printer in the upright position and turn it on.
2. Next, lower the flap on the rear slot. Then insert a single sheet
into the slot, aligning the paper edge with the arrow mark on the
printer case. The page loads automatically. When the printer
receives data, it begins printing.
Be sure to raise the flap when not using manual insertion.
CAUTION: Be sure to turn on the printer
before you insert
the page into the slot. If you turn on the printer
after
paper insertion, the printer prints on the platen without
loading the paper.
l You can adjust the top-of-form position in the same way that
you do for paper loaded from the cassette.
l When you want to switch to the paper cassette, press the
FORM
FEED button without inserting a page into the rear slot. The
printer loads a page from the cassette.
Installing the push tractor
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and is in the flat position.
Remove the paper guide.
2. Make sure the paper-release lever is lowered to the single-sheet
position.
3. Hold the tractor as shown and fit the edges of both sides into the
slots at the back of the printer. Then lift it straight up until you
hear the unit snap into place.
4. Raise the paper-release lever to the continuous-paper position.
