When using the tractor feed the paper guide should be
horizontal.
If the twosides of fhepaper areoutof alignrnen~realign
them so that the sprocket holes match up.
Misalignment of the sprockets, making the paper too
loose or too tigh~ will prevent a smooth paper feed.
Correct this if necessary.
The paper should not be too far from the printer (less
than 1 meter/3 feet), and there should be no cables or
other obstacles obstructing its path. The paper should
also be feeding straight into the printer, and an angled
feed may cause jams and blockages.
