Switching between Front and Rear Tractors

You can easily switch between paper loaded on the front tractor and paper loaded on the rear tractor with the FRONT/REAR button.

The following steps describe the procedure for switching from the front tractor to the rear tractor, but you can follow the same steps to switch from the rear tractor to the front tractor. (To switch tractors when the optional pull tractor is installed, see Chapter 5.)

WARNING: Never switch between tractors when labels are

!!!!!b loaded in the printer or a paper jam may result. Instead, completely remove the labels first by tearing off the fresh

supply below the tractor and pressing the FORM. FEED or LINE FEED button to eject the remaining labels.

Before you start, make sure the printer is turned on and that the front tractor is selected. (The front tractor arrow on the PAPER SELECT indicator should be lit up.) If you are in the middle of printing a document, wait for the printer to finish printing before you switch tractors. Then follow these steps.

1.If the printer is on line, press the ON LINE button to take it off line.
