Tractor position and available paper paths

Below are the various ways of feeding continuous paper. Always move the paper-release lever to the position indicated for the paper-feeding method you are using.

Tractor	Paper-release	Paper-feeding method
position	lever position

Push-tractor position

Pull-tractor position

Make sure you align your paper supply with the paper loaded in the tractor so the paper feeds smoothly into the printer.

If you want to feed paper through the bottom paper slot, use a printer stand that has a large enough opening for paper to feed from the bottom without obstruction.

Changing tractor positions

You can use the tractor unit as either a push tractor or a pull tractor. You can change the tractor position according to your paper feeding method. The printer comes with the tractor installed in the push-tractor position.
