Using two tractors in a push and pull combination
To improve continuous paper feeding and reduce paper jams,
you can use two tractors at the same time. When using two
tractors in combination, you can load paper in the front paper
slot onto both the front push and the pull tractors, or in the
rear paper slot onto both the rear push and the pull tractors.
To use the front push tractor with the pull tractor, you need
to purchase the optional pull tractor (C80032 ). Install the
optional pull tractor as described on page 17, "Installing the
tractor in the pull position."
To use the rear push tractor with the pull tractor, you can
remove the tractor from the front push position, and install it
in the pull position.
Note:
The tractor in the rear push position cannot be removed.

depending on which push tractor you are using. Also, set
the paper thickness lever to the proper position for your
paper's thickness.

top-of-form position. Then press the
perforation between the first and second pages is even with
the top of the printer's ribbon.
Caution:
Never use the knob to adjust the top-of-form position
while the printer is turned on; this may damage the
printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position.
The knob can be used when the printer is turned off
only.
6. Attach the paper to the pull tractor's sprockets as described
in "Loading paper onto the pull tractor" on page 18.
7. Set the paper release lever to the pull tractor position. Then
remove any slack in the paper between the push and pull
tractors using the micro adjust feature, if necessary.
8. Move the paper release lever back to the push tractor
position you set in step 2.
9. Adjust the top-of-form position using the micro adjust
feature as described in "Adjusting the Top-of-Form
Position" on page 22. The printer will start printing at the
current position without advancing the paper.
Caution:
Never use the knob to remove slack in the paper or to
adjust the top-of-form position while the printer is turned
on; this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the
top-of-form position. The knob can be used when the
printer is turned off only.
Always remove any slack from the paper; otherwise
print quality may be reduced.
