Chapter 1

Paper Handling

Your printer can handle continuous paper in either the push or the pull position, as well as single sheets and special papers such as labels and envelopes.

For instructions on using continuous paper, see the following section. To load single sheets, see page 26. For information about special paper, see page 29.

Printing on Continuous Paper

You can print on continuous paper using the tractor in either the push or pull position:

❏Use the tractor in the push position if you want to be able to switch between printing on single sheets and continuous paper without removing the paper supply, or if you will be tearing off continuous paper sheet-by-sheet. (Follow the instructions in the next section.) The printer comes with the tractor installed in the push position.

❏Use the tractor in the pull position if you will be printing on labels, multipart forms, or other documents that require a precise print position. (See “Printing with the pull tractor” on page 17 for instructions.)
