Switching Between Continuous Paper and Single
Sheets
When using the push tractor, you can easily switch to
single-sheet printing without removing the continuous paper.
Switching to single sheets
To switch from continuous paper to single sheets, follow the
steps below.
1. If any printed sheets remain in the printer, press the
TEAR OFF button to advance the paper to the tear-off
position.
2. Tear off the printed pages.
Caution:
Always fear off paper before back-feeding; back-feeding too
many sheets an cause a paper jam.
Never back-feed labels. Labels can easily come off their
backing and jam the printer.
3. Press the LOAD/EJECT button. The printer feeds the
continuous paper backward to the standby position. The
paper is still attached to the push tractor but is no longer in
the paper path.
