Tractor 2 Paper Feed Problems

	FRU	Action
1	Tractor 2	Be sure the gear on the printer that drives
		Tractor 2 turns freely when the lever is not
		pressed, but remains still when the lever is
		pressed.
		Remove the Tractor 2 unit from the printer and
		remove all paper. With the paper select lever in
		the continuous forms position, press
		FormFeed; the tractors should rotate. Press
		the sub slider cam lever below the ASF/Tractor
		2 drive gear and press FormFeed again; the
		tractors should not rotate but the drive gear
		should.
		Check the condition of the pin feed belts. With
		the printer off and be sure the slider does not
		bind.
		Verify:
		• When the slider is to the rear, the white gear
		drives the tractors.
		• When the slider is to the front, the gear and
		tractors are not connected.
2	Tractor 2 Cover	Remove the Tractor 2 cover and reinstall the
		Tractor 2 unit in the printer (if necessary,
		remove the printer covers also). Note that the
		small idler gear just below the slider is held in
		place by the cover. With the cover removed it
		tends to move off the stud. Also note that when
		operating the Tractor 2 with the printer cover
		removed, the Tractor 2 in-place sensor must be
		held open.
		Turn the printer on and look for mechanical
		problems.
		For information on the Tractor 2 cable
		connectors, go to “Signal Connections” on
		page 5-2.
