Push or pull the paper through the paper path until it passes the printhead.

10Close the front cover.

11Place the paper holes over the tractor pins.

If necessary, move the left or right tractor to adjust the tractors to the paper width.

13Replace the ribbon access cover.

14Move the tractor to align the left margin on the paper with the [A symbol printed on the rear plate.

Note: The distance from the [A symbol to the left edge of the paper determines the width of the left margin.
