Using two tractors in a push/pull combination
Using two tractors at once is recommended for printing on
continuous pre-printed forms, multi-part forms, and labels, and
for printing high quality graphics. To reduce paper jams and
improve continuous paper feeding, you can install the optional
additional tractor (C80020
for FX-880, C80021 for FX-1180)
and then use two tractors at the same time.
To use two tractors at once, follow these steps:
1. Install one tractor in the front or rear push position as
described earlier in this chapter.
2. Load continuous paper onto the front or rear push tractor as
described earlier in this chapter.
3. Set the paper release lever to the front or rear push position,
depending on the position of your push tractor.
4. Turn on the printer. Press the
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 second
pages is even with the top of the printer’s ribbon.
c
Caution:
Never use the knob to move the paper; this may damage the
printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position.
5. Install the other tractor in the pull position as described
earlier in this chapter.
6. Fit the holes of the paper over the pins on both sprockets of
the pull tractor.
c
Caution:
Do not pull up the paper by hand to fit it on the pull tractor;
this may damage the printer. Press the
LF/FF
button to move
the paper.
