2 – 6 Operating Your Printer
Paper loading
Three types of paper can be used with your printer:
• Single sheet paper — with/without the optional cut-sheet feeder
• Roll paper — using the optional roll paper stand
• Fan-fold paper — with without the optional tractor feed unit.
Illustrations on the installation and use of the above mentioned optional
extras follow later in this chapter.
When using fanfold paper, adjust the distance between the sprocket
pins at the ends of the platen to correspond to the holes in the paper. See
Page 2-16 for full details.
Fan-fold paper can be fed from the rear of the printer, or, if a slotted
printer stand is available, from the bottom.
Rear Feed Paper Loading:
1. Put the printer on a desk or table.
2. Place the box of paper behind the printer.
3. Remove the access cover and lift the column indicator bar.
4. Open the paper release lever.
5. Insert the first sheet of paper in the paper guides.
6. Push the paper in just enough so that its sprocket holes engage the
sprocket pins located on the platen ends.
