The Tractor Unit

The tractor unit for the LQ is easy to install and use. Before you begin the installation, make sure you have received the following:

Before installing the tractor unit, you should set up your LQ so that continuous-feed paper can flow freely in and out of the printer.

Use any arrangement that allows you to put the paper underneath or behind the printer. There are many types of printer stands you can use; one example is shown in Figure 3-1. If you prefer, you can stack the paper behind the printer as shown in Figure 3-2.
