When you want to use single sheet paper in your LX-80, you can remove the tractor unit quite easily. Just push back the two tractor release levers shown in Figure E-5, tilt the unit backwards, and lift it

up.

Loading Continuous Paper

Once your tractor is installed, you can load continuous paper. See that the printer is turned off, and open the front lid. Then move the print head to the center of the printer, and pull the paper bail away from the platen (the black roller) just as you did for single sheet loading. (Look back at Figure 1-7 if you need to check on the names of any of these parts.)

Now, using Figure E-6 as your guide, pull the locking levers forward so that you can move the pin feed holders to the left and right. Put the left holder approximately 3/4 of an inch from the extreme left position and then push the locking lever back to lock that holder in place. Leave the other holder unlocked.
