Printing on Continuous Paper

You can print on continuous paper using the tractor in either

the push or pull position:

❏ Use the tractor in the push position if you want to be able to

switch between printing on single sheets and continuous

paper without removing the paper supply, or if you will be

tearing off continuous paper sheet-by-sheet. (Follow the

instructions in the next section.) The printer comes with the

tractor installed in the push position.

❏ Use the tractor in the pull position if you will be printing on

labels, multipart forms, or other documents that require a

precise print position. (See “Printing with the pull tractor”

on page 9 for instructions.)

Printing with the push tractor

Follow these steps to load continuous paper on the push tractor:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Remove the printer cover and the paper guide, and pull the

paper release lever forward to the continuous paper

position.

3. Unlock the sprockets on the tractor by pulling the blue lock

levers forward.

4. Slide the left sprocket so the pins are above the

0 mark on

the printer scale (beneath the tractor). The printer starts

printing to the right of this position.

5. Push the lock lever back to lock it in place. Then slide the

right sprocket to match the width of your paper, but do not

lock it. Move the paper support so it is midway between the

sprockets.

6. Stack your continuous paper behind the printer. Make sure

there are no obstructions between the paper and the printer,

and that the paper is aligned squarely with the printer so it

will feed in straight.

7. Make sure your paper has a clean, straight, leading edge.

Then open the sprocket covers and fit the first holes of the

paper over the sprocket pins.

8. Close the covers. Slide the right sprocket to remove any

slack in the paper and lock it in place.
