Removing paper from the pull tractor
1. After you finish printing, tear off the of paper at the
perforation nearest the paper entry slot.
2. Hold down the LF/FF button to eject the paper from
the printer.
Using two tractors in a push and pull combination
You can use two tractors at the same time to reduce paper
jams and improve continuous paper feeding. You can load
paper onto both the front push and pull tractors in the front
paper slot, or you can load paper onto both the rear push and
pull tractors in the rear paper slot.
To use the rear push tractor with the pull tractor, you need to
purchase the optional tractor unit (C80032*). To use the front push
and pull tractor, you need to purchase two optional pull tractors
(C80032*). Install the optional pull tractors as described in “Installing
the tractor in the front push position” on page 12 and in “Installing
the tractor in the pull position” on page 17.
Note:
The tractor in the rear push position cannot be removed.
To load paper onto two tractors, follow these steps:
1. Remove the printer cover and paper guide.
2. Make sure one tractor is in the front or rear push position
and one tractor is in the pull position. Set the paper release
lever to either the front or rear push tractor position,
depending on which tractor you use. Then set the paper
thickness lever to accommodate your paper thickness.
3. Load paper onto the front or rear push tractor you want
to use.
4. Turn on the printer. Press the Load/Eject button to
advance the paper to the top-of-form position. Then press
the
LF/FF button until the perforation between the first and
second page is even with the top of the printer ribbon.
Caution:
Never use the knob to adjust the top-of-form position
while the printer is turned on; this may damage the
printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position. The
knob can be used only when the printer is turned off.
5. Attach the paper to the pull tractor sprockets as described in
“Loading paper onto the pull tractor” on page 18.
6. Set the paper release lever to the pull tractor position. Then
remove any slack in the paper between the push and pull
tractors using the micro adjust feature, if necessary.
7. Move the paper release lever back to the push tractor
position you set in step 2.
8. Adjust the top-of-form position using the micro adjust
feature as described in “Adjusting the Top-of-Form
Position” on page 22. The printer will start printing at the
current position without advancing the paper.
Caution:
Never use the knob to remove slack in the paper or to
adjust the top-of-form position while the printer is turned
on; this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the
top-of-form position. The knob can be used only when
the printer is turned off.
Always remove any slack from the paper; otherwise
print quality may be reduced.
9. Attach the paper guide. Then slide the edge guides to the
middle of the paper guide.
10. Attach the printer cover and close the paper guide cover.
Note:
Always close the printer cover before printing. The printer does
not print when the cover is open.
11. You may need to check and change the printer driver
settings. When the printer receives data, it automatically
loads the paper and starts printing. As shown below, the
printed pages are fed over the paper guide toward the back
of the printer.
12. After you finish printing, open the paper guide cover; then
tear off the printed document at the perforation nearest the
paper exit slot.
