Bottom loading continuous forms using the pull tractor

Notes:

•Make sure the tractor is in the pull position.

•Use a furniture type with a paper‑feed opening in the middle of it.

•Because the printer uses a pull function for bottom loading, it is especially useful for paper that has a tendency to curl, is very heavy, or is very light weight.
