Release lever
Figure 24. The paper release lever has two settings: “F” for friction feed
and “T” for tractor feed.
H Loading single sheets
Paper width must always be between 8 and 10 inches (8 and
15 inches for the SG-15), and paper thickness between .07 mm
and .lO mm.
Now, instead of rolling the paper in manually 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.
5. Insert the sheet from the back side of the platen (between
the paper chute and the platen cover plate).
