Installing The Tractor Unit In The Pull Position
Follow these instructions to install the tractor unit in the pull position:
A Forward Notch
B Front Pins
C Half circle notch
D Platform
E Rear Pins
F Spring Arm
1 Remove the top cover.
2 Remove any paper currently
loaded in the printer.
3 Place your thumbs on the re-
lease tabs located on both ends of the tractor unit. Grip the outside of the printer with
your fingers, push thumbs down and back. The tractor unit will pop backwards when it
releases from the push position.
4 Lift the tractor out with the metal crossbars.
5 Look at the tractor unit and locate the rear set of pins (E) on the right and left of the unit
and the notches (A) that hold the unit in position. On the printer itself, locate the front
pins (B) and the half-circle notch (C).
6 Using two hands, hold both ends of the tractor unit and position the tractor above the
central portion of the printer. The tractor feeders that grip the paper will be facing you and
the round crossbar will be above the square crossbar.
7 Rest the bottom of the spring arms (B) pin into the half circle notch (C). Keep the tractor
seated while you press downward from the tractor unit. The notches extending down-
wards from the tractor unit (A) will engage the two forward pins (B). When correctly
installed, the tractor unit clicks into place and feels very solidly attached. The tractor
feeders will be almost vertical.
8 Make sure the large paper select lever on the right-hand side of the printer is in the
forward (continuous forms) position.
Setting The Paper Thickness
Paper up to 0.007 inches thick will feed smoothly
through this printer. This allows you to use bond or
ledger up to 100 gsm. However, for thicker papers
you will need to adjust the printhead away from the
platen. For all other papers, keep the lever set to the
standard position. Remembering to make this small
adjustment gives you the best printing results.
Regardless of paper thickness, do not use a setting
closer to the platen than the standard position pointer
otherwise smudged output or and damage to the
printhead could result. See the table for the recom-
mended paper thickness settings for the number of
copies you are using.
