Switching to printing on continuous paper

Follow the steps below to switch from printing on single sheets to printing on continuous paper with a push tractor.

Note:

To switch from printing with the optional front sheet guide to printing with the front push tractor, you need to remove the front sheet guide.

1.If a single sheet remains in the printer, press the Load/Eject button to eject it.

cCaution:Never use the knob to eject paper when the printer is on; this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position.

2.Make sure the tractor is installed in the front or rear push position and that continuous paper is loaded on it.

3.Set the paper release lever to the front or rear push position, depending on the tractor position you are using.

Your printer loads the continuous paper automatically when you begin printing.

Using the Micro Adjust Function

The Micro Adjust function allows you to move the paper forward or backward in 0.118 mm (1/216-inch) increments to adjust the tear-off and top-of-form positions.

Adjusting the tear-off position

If your paper’s perforation is not aligned with the tear-off edge, you can use the Micro Adjust function to move the perforation to the tear-off position, as described below. Your tear-off position setting remains in effect until you change it, even if you turn off the printer.
