Using the push and pull tractor in combination 
You can improve paper feeding and reduce paper jams by using 
two tractors at the same time. This is especially helpful for 
printing on continuous preprinted forms or multipart forms and 
for printing high-quality graphics. 
Note:
For more information on how to use two tractors in the push and pull 
combination, see “Using two tractors in the push/pull combination” on 
page 2-22.
rear
You can also load continuous paper from the rear 
pull tractor position. 
Note:
Paper loaded from the rear slot results in a curved 
paper path, which may affect loading 
performance, so use the front or bottom slot 
whenever possible.
Caution:
Do not 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.

) and install it in the pull position.
Caution:
Do not load continuous paper with labels onto the 
push tractor even when it is used in combination 
with the pull tractor. If you load continuous paper 
with labels onto the rear push/pull tractor, the labels 
may come off their backing sheet inside the printer 
and cause a paper jam.
