The Pull Tractor

The optional pull tractor (#7311 for the FX-850 and #7312 for the FX-1050) provides optimum continuous paper handling. The pull tractor is especially useful with continuous multi-part forms and labels. For best results, use the pull tractor along with the built-in push tractor, as described in this section.

After making sure that you have both parts of the pull tractor option as shown below, remove the packing material and save it in case you need to ship the unit later.

Caution: The short tear-off function cannot be used with the pull tractor. Before you start printing with the pull tractor, make sure that DIP switch 1-5 is set to on. (Short tear-off is turned off only when the DIP switch is set to on. See the section on setting DIP switches in Chapter 3.)

Installation and use

After making sure that the printer is turned off, install and use the pull tractor as follows:

1.Remove the printer cover and the paper guide and install the paper rest if you haven’t already. (See Chapter 2.)
