Using Continuous Paper
Loading continuous paper with the pull tractor
By placing the tractor in the pull-tractor position, you can load
paper from the rear, front, or bottom. The steps are the same for
all paper paths.
Note: When the tractor is in the pull-tractor position, do not use
the
TEAR-OFF
button or the
LOAD/EJECT
button to feed the paper
back to the standby position.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the paper guide and
printer cover are removed.
2. Make sure the tractor is in the pull-tractor position and the
paper-release lever is in the pull-tractor position.
