Using the Optional Tractor Unit

The optional tractor unit allows you to use continuous paper with pin feed holes along the sides. The unit is adjustable so that the continuous paper can be any width from 4 to 10 inches.

Printer Location

When you use the tractor and continuous paper, you must put your LX-80where the paper can flow freely in and out of the printer. Use a printer stand or any other arrangement that fits your working area. Just make sure that the paper coming out of the printer does not interfere with the paper going in and that the paper going in does not catch on the printer cable. Because of the cable, it is usually best for the paper that feeds into the printer to be stacked somewhat behind the printer instead of directly beneath it. Two possible setups are shown in Figures E-land E-2.
