Selecting a Paper Source
Your printer provides a variety of paper sources for printing on
single sheets and continuous paper. Paper can be fed into the
printer from the top, front, bottom, or rear. Select the paper source
that best suits your current printing needs.
Printing on continuous paper
You can choose from three tractor positions (front push, rear
push, and pull) and three paper entry slots (front, rear, and
bottom) for continuous paper printing. This section helps you
determine which paper paths and tractor positions are best for
your continuous paper printing needs. See “Loading continuous
paper with the tractor” on page 17 for tractor installation and
paper loading instructions.
Using the push tractor positions
If you often need to tear off sheets of continuous paper (for
example, if you are printing purchase orders or sales slips), it is
best to use the tractor in the front or rear push position. This
allows you to use the printer’s tear-off edge to easily tear off sheets
of continuous paper at the perforation. Also, when continuous
paper is loaded on a push tractor, you can print on single sheets
of paper from the paper guide without removing the continuous
paper from the tractor.
