You can also load continuous paper from the rear pull tractor position.

Note:

Paper loaded from the rear slot results in a curved

rear paper path, which may affect loading performance, so use the front or bottom slot whenever possible.

Caution:

Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear slot; the labels may come off their backing sheet inside the printer and cause a paper jam.

Using the push and pull tractor in combination

You can improve paper feeding and reduce paper jams by using two tractors at the same time. This is especially helpful for printing on continuous preprinted forms or multipart forms and for printing high-quality graphics.

Combination

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To use the push tractor with the pull tractor, you

 

 

 

 

 

need to purchase the optional pull tractor

 

 

 

 

 

(C80020✻) and install it in the pull position.

 

 

 

 

 

Caution:

 

 

 

 

 

Do not load continuous paper with labels onto the

 

rear push

 

push tractor even when it is used in combination

 

and pull

 

with the pull tractor. If you load continuous paper

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with labels onto the rear push/pull tractor, the labels

 

 

 

 

 

may come off their backing sheet inside the printer

 

 

 

 

 

and cause a paper jam.
