Facing your Gemini, as depicted in Figure 2-7, you see the tractor’s driving gear-wheel that is on the right (protected by a “fender:’complete with a “fenderskirt”). To the left of this part is the right sprocket. On the other side of the spacer(s) is the left sprocket unit. These mechanisms drive the paper through the printer. Each has a hood, secured with a spring. Try lifting the hood, if you want.

Toward the back of the top of each sprocket mechanism is a clamp lever. If you snap the lever forward, you can freely move the sprocket mechanisms back and forth to handle different widths of paper. When you have the mechanisms where you want them, snap the clamp lever backward, and it acts like a parking brake.
