LOADING SPROCKET-FED PAPER

Mounting the Tractor Unit
Figures 2-1and 2-2showed you how to remove the tractor unit from your Gemini. The tractor unit drives (“feeds”) the sprocket paper through the printer. When you want to print onto this type of paper, you must first attach the tractor unit. Figure 2-7 shows you the correct alignment for gliding the unit into position and snapping it into place.
The tractor units for the Gemini-lox and Gemini-15X are quite similar, but the paper-loading procedures are markedly different. So the following sections instruct you on loading sprocket-fed paper into each type of printer. But first, let’s look at the tractor unit and its main parts.
