Removing continuous paper with labels
To avoid peeling labels off the backing sheet and jamming the
printer, follow these steps when you remove continuous paper
with labels from the printer:
1. After you finish printing, tear off the fresh supply of
continuous labels at the perforation nearest the paper
entry slot.
2. Hold down the LF/FF button to eject the remaining labels
from the printer.
Never press the Load/Eject or Tear Off/Bin button.
When fed backward, labels can easily come off the
backing sheet and cause a paper jam.
Using the Push Tractor
When using the push tractor, load continuous paper in the rear
slot. For information on when to use the push tractor, see
“Available Paper Paths” on page 8. For instructions on loading
paper on the push tractor and removing a printed document,
see the User’s Guide.
The tractor is installed in the push position when the
printer is shipped. If a tractor is not installed in the push
position, see “ Reinstalling the tractor in the push
position ” below.
Removing the push tractor
To remove the tractor from the push position, follow these
steps:
1. Remove any paper from the tractor.
2. Turn off the printer.
3. Remove the paper guide by holding both edges and lifting
it up.
4. Press the tractor’s lock tabs, tilt the tractor up, and lift it out
of the printer.
Reinstalling the tractor in the push position
If a tractor is installed in the pull position, you need to remove
it and install the paper tension unit (as described under
“Removing the pull tractor” on page 12) before using the push
tractor.
To reinstall the tractor in the push position, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Remove the paper guide by holding both edges and lifting it
up.
3. Lower the tractor into the mounting slots (➀), and press
down both ends (➁) of the tractor to make sure that it is
firmly seated.
You are now ready to load continuous paper onto the push
tractor. If you need instructions, see the User’s Guide.
