Figure 2-4. The paper release lever has two settings: “F” for friction feed
and “T” for tractor feed.
for “Tractor Feed” and is used only with sprocket-feed paper.
“F” tightens the pressure of the paper against the platen, while
“T” loosens this pressure, so it’s easier to move the paper around.

Paper width must always be between 8 and 10 inches (8 and
15 inches for the SD-15), and paper thickness between .07 mm
and .lO mm.

Now, instead of rolling the paper in manua& by turning the -
platen knob, we’re going to use the L.F. button, with the power -
switch turned on. (This means we’ll have to use the “F” (friction -
feed) position of the release lever.) Remember what we told you
about that L.F. (line feed) button? This allows you to advance
the paper one line at a time, and if you hold the button down,
you’ll get multiple line feeds, one after the other.
OK? Now let’s start.
1. Remove the printer cover and tractor unit (you can leave
the paper separator on if you have installed it).
2. Turn the power switch on.
3. Lift up the paper bail bar.
4. Set the release lever to the “F”position.
