Using the Two-Tractor System
Your printer’s paper handling system consists of a front push
tractor and a rear push tractor. Both tractors are easy to load
and operate, and both accommodate a wide variety of paper
types, including labels and multi-part forms. The printer
automatically adjusts to the thickness of your loaded paper, so
you don’t need to make any manual adjustments to the paper
thickness settings.
You can print on continuous paper from 4 inches (101 mm) to
16 inches (406 mm) wide. Your printer senses the paper width
automatically.
When using more than two types of paper, load the paper you
use most often onto the front tractor. The front tractor, which is
easier to reach, will be available for the paper you change more
frequently. Use only the front tractor for printing on labels,
continuous forms with labels, overlapping multi-part forms,
and overlapping multi-part forms with labels.
Note:
T Before using your paper, check that it matches the specifications
described in Appendix A. Also make sure your paper has a
straight edge.
T If continuous paper is fed past the sprocket (on the last page,
for example), the paper may not feed properly.
Positioning the paper supply
You can load continuous paper from both the front and the
rear, so be sure to leave enough room around the printer for
the two stacks of fresh paper and for the printed stack. Make
sure you align your paper supply with the paper loaded in
the tractor so the paper feeds smoothly into the printer.
