10. Press the LOAD button to advance the paper to the top-of-

ing adjustments, as necessary:
• Horizontal alignment. Move the forms tractors as required.
• Top-of-form setting (see Chapter 5).

mode (see Chapter 5).
Loading Continuous Forms (Pull Tractor and Bottom Feed)
This section explains how to use continuous forms as the forms tractor
unit is installed at the top of the printer. The forms tractor unit pulls
continuous forms. This is called pull-tractor feed. To use pull-tractor
feed, you must remove the forms tractor unit from the rear of the
printer and install it on the top of the printer.
For pull-tractor feed, this printer is equipped with a paper path slot on
the bottom of the printer to allow for continuous forms feed from
under the printer. You must use a desk or rack that has an appropriate
paper path slot. For paper path, see the section Positioning the Paper
Stack earlier in this section.
The 80-column printer printer uses the separator and the bail roller
unit; the 136-column printer uses the separator including the bail
rollers. Thus, step 4 of the following procedure differs for the 80-
column printer and the 136-column printer.
To reinstall the tractor unit for pull-tractor feed:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Raise and pull up the acoustic cover to remove it and raise the
cut sheet stand and the back cover together to access the forms
tractor unit.
