Switching to the cut-sheet feeder
1
. If any printed sheets remain in the printer, press the TEAR
OFF button to advance the continuous paper to the tear-off
position.
2. Tear off the printed pages.
3. Press the LOAD/EJECT button. The printer feeds 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.
Caution:
Never feed labels backward. Labels can easily come off their
backing and jam the printer. Before you switch to the
cut-sheet feeder when you are using labels, remove the
labels from the printer as described on page 2-26.
4. Place the paper-release lever in the single-sheet position.
Pull Tractor
The optional pull tractors, C80019* provide optimum
continuous paper handling. (The asterisk is a substitute for the
last digit, which varies according to country.) The pull tractor
is especially useful with continuous multi-part forms. For best
results, use the optional pull tractor along with your standard
tractor installed in the push-tractor position. (See page 2-10 for
instructions.)
Loading paper with the push tractor and the optional
pull tractor
1. Make sure the printer is turned off, the standard tractor is
installed in the push-tractor position, and the paper-release
lever is in the push-tractor position.
