Is the paper guide in the ver- tical position?

Are the holes on each side of the paper aligned with regard to each other in the tractor units?

When using the tractor feed, the paper guide should be horizontal.

If thetwosides of thepaperareoutof alignment, realign them so that the tractor holes match up.

Arethetractorunits too close or too far apart?

Are the ~actor units locked in position and the covers closed?

Misalignment of the tractor units, making the paper too close or too tight, will prevent a smooth paper feed.
