5.Q. What is the advantage of purchasing an optional Tractor unit?

A. Having an optional tractor unit allows a tractor unit to be mounted at the front and rear of the printer at the same time. This enables the printer to have two (2) types of continuous paper loaded at the same time. You select between the different paper types by moving the paper-release lever to the appropriate paper path and then pressing the PAPER FEED/EJECT button.
