Switching Between Printing on Continuous Paper
and Printing on Single Sheets
You can easily switch back and forth between printing on
continuous paper with the push tractor and printing on single
sheets without having to remove or reload the continuous paper.
Switching to printing on single sheets
To switch from printing on continuous paper with the push
tractor to printing on single sheets, follow these steps:
Note:
If a tractor is in the pull position, remove any continuous paper from it
before switching to single-sheet printing. See “Removing the paper from
the pull tractor” on page 2-21.
1. If any printed pages remain in the printer, press the Tear Off/
Bin button to advance the paper to the tear-off position. Then
tear off the printed pages.
c
Caution:
❏ Tear off your printed document before you press the
Load/Eject button in the next step. Reverse feeding
several pages at a time may cause a paper jam.
❏ Never use the knob to eject paper while the printer is on;
this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the tear-
off position.
2. Press the Load/Eject button to feed the continuous paper
backward to the standby position. The paper is still attached
to the push tractor but is no longer in the paper path.
3. Load single sheets in the top or front cover as described
in Chapter 3.
