Before you load single-sheet paper the first time, you must prepare the printer by removing the tractor unit and installing the paper guide, as described in the next five steps. (If you have previously loaded continuous-feed paper, you have already done some of the steps.)

Preparing the printer

1.Remove the tractor cover that comes installed on the printer. To remove it, simply pull the back of the cover toward you until it is vertical. Then lift the cover up and off the printer.

2.Be sure that you have removed the protective items as described on page l-2.

3.Remove the tractor unit. Simply press the release levers (shown in Figure 2-1) with your thumbs, rock the tractor unit back, and lift it off the printer.
