Removing the Printed Document From a
Push Tractor
1. Make sure the Tear Off/Bin lights are flashing. (You may
need to press the
Tear Off/Bin button.) When the
Tear Off/Bin lights are flashing, your paper is in the tear-off
position.
2. Open the paper guide cover and tear off the printed
document using the printer’s tear-off edge.
3. Press the
Load/Eject button to feed the continuous paper
backward out of the printer and into the standby position.
Caution:
Make sure you tear off your printed document before
pressing the Load/Eject button. Reverse feeding several
pages at a time may cause a paper jam.
Removing Continuous Paper With Labels
1. Tear off the fresh supply of continuous labels at the
perforation nearest the paper entry slot.
2. Hold down the
LF/FF button to eject the remaining labels
from the printer.
Caution:
Never press the Load/Eject or Tear Off/Bin button when
printing on labels. When fed backward, labels can easily
come off the backing sheet and cause a jam.
Switching to Printing on Single Sheets
You can easily switch from printing on continuous paper with
a push tractor to printing on single sheets without having to
remove or reload paper. Follow the steps below.
Note:
❏ If continuous paper with labels is loaded in the printer, remove it
before switching to single-sheet printing.
❏ If a tractor is in the pull position, remove any continuous paper
from it before switching to single-sheet printing.
1. If any printed pages of continuous paper remain in the
printer, press the
Tear Off/Bin button to advance them to
the tear-off position, and then tear them off.
Caution:
Tear off your printed document before you press the
Load/Eject button in the next step. Reverse feeding
several pages at a time may cause a paper jam.
Never use the knob to eject paper while the printer is
on; this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the
tear-off or top-of-form position.
2. Press the Load/Eject button to feed the continuous paper
backward to the standby position.
3. Load single sheets in the top or front paper guide.
4. Set the paper release lever to the single-sheet position.
Switching to Printing on Continuous
Paper
To switch from printing on single sheets to printing on
continuous paper with the front or rear push tractor, follow
these steps:
1. If a single sheet remains in the printer, press the
Load/Eject
button to eject it.
Caution:
Never use the knob to eject paper while the printer is
on; this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the
tear-off or top-of-form position.

push position.
