Figure E-7. Feeding the paper into the printer

Next, pull the paper up until the top is above the pin-feed holders. Fit the holes on the left side of the paper over the pins in the left holder and close the cover. Now fit the right side of the paper in the right holder, moving the holder as needed to match the width of the paper. Close the second cover-making sure that the paper has no dips or wrinkles-and lock the right holder in place.

Adjust the paper guide skids on the back of the tractor so they’re evenly spaced. The paper pressure bar should remain in the open position and does not touch the paper.

Now you’re ready to set the top-of-page position. Turn the paper-feed knob to advance the paper until the perforation between the first and second sheets is about l/8 of an inch below the top of the print head as shown in Figure E-8.
