Bottom-Feed Tractors A-5
Using the Bottom-Feed Tractors
With the bottom-feed tractors activated and paper loaded, you can use
the bottom-feed tractors just like the rear-feed tractors. All of the
printer's special paper handling features, such as demand document mode
and paper parking, are fully supported. For detailed information on the
printer's paper handling features, refer to the Loading Paper section
of this guide.
Alternating Between Paper Paths
You can load one kind of pin-feed form through the rear forms tractors
and another kind through the bottom-feed forms tractors. You can then
switch between these forms without having to manually reload forms.
To change between the rear and bottom paper paths, use the following
procedure:
1. Tear off all but the last page that has exited the printer.
2. With the printer paused or idle, press the Paper Park button to
reverse feed the paper that is loaded in the printer into the parked
position.
3. Move the tractor select indicator to the opposite position.
4. Press the Form Feed button to advance the paper into the ready-to-
print position or just send data to the printer and the paper will load
automatically.
