LOADING SPROCKET-FED PAPER
Sprocket paper is also known as “computer paper:’ fanfold paper,
and “perf” paper (for “perforated”). Even if you call it “That funny-
looking paper with rows of holes on the sides:’ your Gemini can
still print on it.

Mounting the Tractor Unit
Figures 2-1 and 2-2 showed you how to remove the tractor unit from
your Gemini. The tractor unit drives (“feeds”) the sprocket paper
through the printer. When you want to print onto this type of paper,
you must first attach the tractor unit. Figure 2-7 shows you the
correct alignment for gliding the unit into position and snapping
it into place.
The tractor units for the Gemini-lox and Gemini-15X are quite
similar, but the paper-loading procedures are markedly different.
So the following sections instruct you on loading sprocket-fed
paper into each type of printer. But first, let’s look at the tractor
unit and its main parts.
