To load paper onto the rear push tractor, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned off. Open the paper guide
cover () and remove the paper guide ().
2. Set the paper release lever to the rear push tractor position.
Then set the paper thickness lever to accommodate your
paper thickness.
3. Release the left and right sprockets by pulling the sprocket
lock levers forward.
4. Slide the left sprocket to the left margin of the paper using
the scale on the printer. (Printing starts at the arrow mark.)
Then push the lever back to lock it in place.
See “Paper Alignment” on page 4 and “Printable Area” on
page 5 for more information on the left margin position.
5.Slide the right sprocket to match the width of
your paper, but do not lock it. Move the paper support
midway between the two sprockets.
6. Make sure your paper has a clean, straight edge. Then open
both sprocket covers and fit the first three holes of the
paper—printable side down—over the tractor pins. Then
close the sprocket covers.
7. Slide the right sprocket to remove any slack in the paper;
then lock it in place by pushing the sprocket lock down.
8. Attach the paper guide base as described on page 13. After
installing the paper guide, grab the center section of the
paper guide, lift it up, and lay it flat.
