| |
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 | |
|
| held open. | |
|
| Turn the printer on and look for mechanical | |
|
| problems. | |
