Printing On Continuous Paper
Standard continuous feed paper can be fed from either the bottom or the rear. With rear feeding
you can take advantage of the printer’s special features of paper tear off, top of form fine adjust-
ment and paper parking. You can stack the paper on the desk or table behind the printer (be sure
to allow space for the exiting paper so that it does not interfere with the incoming paper). With
bottom feeding you have convenient paper storage and less curling around the platen. We
recommend the push position.
Follow these steps to load continuous paper:
1 Be sure the tractor is mounted in the push
position. If it is not, use the instructions ear-
lier in this Chapter to install it.
2 Move the paper select lever to the forward
(paper stack) position.
3 Unlock the levers on the tractor feeders and
adjust them to the approximate paper width.
See figure right.
4 Open the tractor feeder covers and place the
paper on the sprocket pins. Close the cov-
ers to clamp the paper.
5 Adjust the paper feeders until the paper is just taut between them, then relock the levers.
6 Install the paper guide/sheet separator in the sheet separator position. Do this by sliding
the small pins that point into the printer onto the L shaped channel openings on the
Outside of the printer guide extensions. Recline the paper guide backward. At the same
time slide the paper guide forward
slightly. Correctly installed, the pa-
per guide lies flat on top of the
printer case above the paper.

7 Move the paper holders (E) from
the sides into the middle of the
paper guide. This prevents your printed output from becoming accidentally jammed in
the paper guide on its way out of the printer.
8 Turn the printer on.
9 Press the PARK/LOAD key. This advances the paper to the starting print position.
Printing On Single Sheets
Single sheet feeding allows you to print on your company letterhead as well as many other types
of paper that are not available as continuous paper. It is a very easy procedure with the printer.
