Paper Handling
Switching between Push-Feed and Pull-Feed
Caution: When manipulating the tractor unit, always be careful not to pull on plastic
parts (below the forms tractors) in order to avoid printing problems (such as
printing on the platen at the end of the paper in push-feed). Always manipulate
the metallic parts of the tractor unit.
To allow the printer to properly detect the switching operation, follow the next procedure:
1. Unload the paper.
2. Turn the printer off.
3. Install the tractor unit for the other feed mode.
4. Turn the printer on.
5. Load the paper.
To Reinstall the Tractor Unit for Push-Tractor Feed:
1. Open the acoustic cover and the top cover.
2. Pull up both ends of the tractor unit to detach the catches of the tractor unit from the
support studs. Then pull the tractor unit.
3. Set the cut sheet stand and the back cover to the up position.
4. Keep the tractor unit horizontally (see the horizontal plane in the figure) so that the top
catches
1 of the tractor unit are in front of the inner support studs 2 of the printer.
5. Push the tractor unit toward the front of the printer until the top catches snap into the
inner studs. Then snap down the tractor unit into place.
