Switching Between Continuous Paper and Single Sheets

When using the push tractor, you can easily switch to single-sheet printing without removing the continuous paper.

Switching to single sheets

To switch from continuous paper to single sheets, follow the steps below.

1.If any printed sheets remain in the printer, press the TEAR OFF button to advance the paper to the tear-off position.

2.Tear off the printed pages.

CAUTION:

•Always tear off paper before back-feeding; back- feeding too many sheets can cause a paper jam.

•Never back-feed labels. Labels can easily come off their backing and jam the printer.

3.Press the LOAD/EJECT button. The printer feeds the continuous paper backward to the standby position. The paper is still attached to the push tractor but is no longer in the paper path.

4.Move the paper-release lever to the single-sheet position.
