Printing on continuous paper
You can choose from three tractor positions (front push, rear
push, and pull) and three paper entry slots (front, rear, and
bottom) for continuous paper printing. This section helps you
determine which paper paths and tractor positions are best for
your continuous paper printing needs. See the appropriate
sections in Chapter 2 for tractor installation and paper loading
instructions.
Using a push tractor
If you often need to tear off sheets of continuous paper (for
example, if you are printing purchase orders or sales slips), it is
best to use a push tractor. This allows you to use the printer’s tear-
off edge to easily tear off printed sheets of continuous paper at
the perforation. Also, when continuous paper is loaded on a push
tractor, you can load single sheets of paper from the paper guide
without removing the continuous paper.
There are two push tractor positions: front and rear. The tractors
are installed in the front push and rear push positions when the
printer is shipped. See the table below for details about the push
positions and the corresponding paper-feeding paths.
Note:
The tractor in the rear push position cannot be removed.
