USING CONTINUOUS

Continuous forms paper, fanfolded at the horizontal perforations, is

FORMS

ideal for printing rough drafts and long files. The paper is fed into the

 

printer using the forms tractors. If the forms tractors unit is mounted

 

at the rear of the printer, it pushes paper from the rear to the platen.

 

This is called push-tractor feeding. If the forms tractor unit is mounted

 

at the top of the printer, it pulls paper from the bottom or rear of the

 

printer to the platen. This is called pull-tractor feeding.
