Using the Load/Unload function

Use the Load/Unload button to unload continuous forms from the printer to allow printing on either a cut form or an envelope.

The Load/Unload function works only when the tractor unit is in the push position.

You can also use the Load/Unload button to load continuous forms into the printer when the paper path is clear, or to change one type of pre‑printed form to another.

Locking and unlocking the control panel

To restrict the use of printer functions to the Start/Stop, FormFeed, Tear Off, and Load/Unload buttons, lock the control panel. When the panel is locked, the light comes on.

To lock the control panel:

1Turn the printer off.

2Press and hold Load/Unload and Tractor while turning the printer on. To unlock the control panel:

1Turn the printer off.

2Press and hold Load/Unload and Tractor while turning the printer on.

Selecting a Tractor mode

Note: Because this function unloads continuous forms from the currently selected tractor, tear off excess paper prior to initiating.

When the optional Tractor 2 Feeder is installed, you can press Tractor to unload the current continuous forms and switch to the continuous forms loaded in the other tractor source.

The Tractor 2 light comes on when the optional Tractor 2 Feeder is selected.
