Loading sprocket-feed paper
L
This is the familiar perforated paper, with the holes along both
sides, also called sprocket, punched, fan-fold, or just plain “com-
puter paper.” It can be as narrow as 3”, and up to 10” wide (5” to
L.
15%” on Delta-15).
To use this kind of paper, you’ll need to install the tractor unit,
i
with its two “sprocket” wheels to carry the paper along.
To install the tractor, identify the two “snap levers” shown in
c.
L-
Figure 1-8. At the same time, identify the two “stoppers,” nickel-
plated bars over which the hooked or cut-out bottom edge of the
tractor frame fits.
OK? Now pick up the tractor unit. While depressing the two
snap levers, guide it down to the two stoppers; when the hooks
i
slide over the stopper bars, let go of the snap levers to lock it in
place.

Next, if you haven’t already, install the paper separator and
- paper guide (see Appendix A), and we’re ready to start loading.

1. Turn the power switch off and remove the printer cover.
2. Pull the release lever (on left side) to position “T”.

3. Raise the paper press bar; lift the paper separator upright.
4. Place the stack of fan-fold paper behind the printer.
5. Open the tractor covers, atop the right and left sprocket units,
as shown in Figure 1-9.
6. Flip the clamp levers forward. This allows the two sprocket
units to move freely right and left, so you can align them with
the holes in the paper.
L
7. Pick up the top sheet, and feed it between the paper chute and
platen cover plate.
8. Push the paper down and forward, so it wraps around the pla-
ten.
