The Starting Line

Pull the paper bail forward. Open both tractor covers and center the paper guide roller between them (Figure l-10).

Feed the incoming paper above the plastic tube but below the wire frame, into the slot and right on around to the tractors. Move the tractors as necessary to match the hold spacing in the paper. The tractor position lock levers are shown in Figure l-10.

Position the paper holes on top of the tractor teeth and close the tractor covers. Adjust one or both tractors so the paper is centered as you wish it, and is held firmly in place. Push the bail back up against the paper.

Roll the paper forward with the roller knob.

The printer moves paper forward only, and never looks back. If we must turn the roller back manually, the power should be OFF; it helps to pull lightly on the paper.

Pull the bail back out of the way and set the paper so the top of a new sheet is positioned right at the scribe mark on the metal platen (Figure l-11). Push the bail back up against the paper.
