Loading fanfold paper 13

❏Swing the rear cover back and down until it stops.

Metal edge

Note:

You can also completely remove the rear cover by simply pulling it away from the back of the printer after you open it.

Caution!

The metal edge of the cover is rather sharp. Take care to avoid injuring your hands when handling it.

❏Pass the fanfold paper through the space between the printer case and the rear cover.

❏Unlock the two tractor covers by pulling their gray levers up, and slide them so they are aligned approximately with the holes on the sides of the paper. Also move the center paper support so that it is approximately halfway between the two tractors.

❏Open the covers of both tractors and insert the paper so the tractor pins ﬁt.
