To load pin-feed paper into the bottom-feed
forms tractors, use the following procedure:

1. Raise the front of the printer onto the

pop-down supports.

2. Pull forward on the tractor locking levers

so that the tractors can slide freely on
the shafts.

3. Open both tractor doors.

4. Push the leading edge of the paper up

the tractor pin belts. Then, close the
tractor doors to secure the paper in
place.

5. Slide the tractors and paper left or right

as needed until the paper holes on the

A-4. Then, push back the left tractor
locking lever to lock that tractor in place.

6. Slide the right tractor to the right until the

paper is snug between the tractors.
Then, push back the right tractor locking
lever to lock that tractor in place. Make
sure that the paper is not too tight or too
loose between the tractors, since this
could cause paper feeding problems.

7. Press the Form Feed button on the con-

trol panel. The paper will advance to
the ready-to-print position.

8. Lower the front of the printer.
