Apple ImageWriter II - Manual (Page 19)

Set the left tractor so that the point where you want to begin printing on your form or label corresponds
with the left margin actually delivered by the program.
By the Way: If the Error light comes on, signifying paper out, you may have set the left tractor too far to
the right. Readjust the tractor and try again.
Important!
Don’t try to set the margins beyond the red rings on the paper bail. These rings represent the print head’s
absolute boundaries.
With the left tractor set, use your form or label sheet to set the appropriate position for the right tractor.
When using labels, do not turn the platen knob counter-clockwise. This could cause a label to come off in
the printer, possibly causing damage.
When you have finished your form or label printing, you may want to make a note on your sample printout
page of the settings you used, for future reference. Be sure to reset paper thickness before reloading
regular paper.
Loading Envelopes
Follow these steps to load and print envelopes.
Remove the front cover and set the paper thickness lever to the appropriate thickness.
Replace the front cover.
Set the feed lever to friction feed.
Remove or tip back the front cover window.
Lift up the paper bail until it locks into place. This elevated position ensures that your envelopes won’t jam
in the bail during the printing process. Leave the bail in this position until you’ve finished printing your
envelopes.
Setting the Paper Bail for Envelopes
Align the envelope with the single-sheet icon on the back cover.
Turn the platen knob to draw the envelope into the desired position for printing.
Issue your software’s print command.
If necessary, turn the platen knob to eject the envelope from the printer when printing stops.
When you are finished with envelopes, press gently on both sides of the paper bail to return it to its
normal position.
Be sure to reset the paper thickness lever and, if necessary, the paper release lever before returning to
normal printing.
