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.
