(5) Release Lever
o
.;.-
The release lever is used to select friction or tractor feeding or release the paper. When the release lever is
set to the friction feed position, the paper guide rollers are pressed against the platen. When it is set to one
of the tractor feed positions, this pressure is released and the paper guide rollers are separated from the
platen. When it is set to the paper free position, the paper drive roller and the lower paper guide roller at the
front entrance are separated from each other. Figure 2-10 illustrates the release lever. Figure 2-11 shows the
function of each release lever setting.
