Load/Eject button to
advance the paper to the top-of-form position. Then press
the
LF/FF button until the perforation between the first and

the printer is turned off only.
5. Attach the paper to the pull tractor sprockets as described in

8. Adjust the top-of-form position using the micro adjust
feature as described in “Adjusting the Top-of-Form
Position” on page 21. The printer will start printing at the
current position without advancing the paper.
Never use the knob to remove slack in the paper or to
adjust the top-of-form position while the printer is
turned on; this may damage the printer or cause it to
lose the top-of-form position. The knob can be used
when the printer is turned off only.
Always remove any slack from the paper; otherwise
print quality may be reduced.
9. Attach the paper guide. Then slide the edge guides to the
middle of the paper guide. Lift the center section of the
paper guide up and lay it flat.
10. Attach the printer cover and close the paper guide cover.
Always close the printer cover before printing. The
printer does not print when the cover is open.

settings. When the printer receives data, it automatically
loads the paper and starts printing. As shown below, the
printed pages are fed over the paper guide toward the back
of the printer.
12. After you finish printing, open the paper guide cover; then
tear off the printed document at the perforation nearest the
paper exit slot.
To remove the paper from the tractors, follow the steps under
“Removing the paper from the pull tractor” on page 19.
