Figure 2-5.Use friction feed for single sheets and tractor feed for continuous paper.
nLoading single sheets
Instead of feeding the paper in manually by turning the platen knob, you can use the release lever for automatic feeding (the printer must be turned on). Single sheets from 5.5 to 8.5 inches wide (6 to 14.5 inches for the 15-inch type) can be used and the paper guide must be fitted:
1.Flip the clamp levers backward and move the sprockets and sheet guides on the tractor feed unit all the way to the ends.
2.With the ribs of the paper guide toward you and the sliding adjuster at the bottom left, insert the guide into the slot at the back of the printer cover.
3.Insert the guide stand in the notches provided for it and prop up the paper guide.
4.Position the adjuster at the triangle marked on the guide for standard margins, or set it according to your own re- quirements.
