5 Getting to Know Your Printer

Using a pull tractor

If you often print on thick or heavy continuous paper, such as

multi-part forms or continuous paper with labels, use a tractor in

the pull position. The pull tractor provides the best paper jam

prevention, and allows you to load continuous paper from the

front, rear, or bottom of the printer. However, you cannot use the

tear-off feature with the pull tractor.

Note:

If you plan to use a pull tractor, you can remove the tractor from the

front push position and install it in the pull position, or you can purchase

the optional pull tractor (C80032

✽

) and install it in the pull position.

See Chapter 2 for instructions.

Tractor position Description

front push

To use this tractor, load paper in the front slot. If you

print on thick paper such as multi-part forms or

continuous paper with labels, load the paper in the

front paper slot because the paper path from this

slot is almost straight. This reduces the chance of

paper jams.

rear push

To use this tractor, load paper in the rear slot.

Note:

Because thick multi-part forms require a straight

paper path, load them in the front slot.

Caution:

Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear

slot. If you load continuous paper with labels in the

rear slot, the labels may come off their backing

sheet inside the printer and cause a paper jam.
