Selecting a Paper Source
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.
Push Tractor Positions
There are two push tractor positions: front and rear. The tractor
is installed in the rear push position when the printer is shipped.
Pull Tractor Position
The pull tractor allows you to load continuous paper from the
front, rear or bottom of the printer. However, you cannot use
the tear-off feature when the tractor is in the pull position.
To use the tractor in the pull position, you can remove the
tractor from the rear push position and reinstall it in the pull
position, or you can purchase the optional pull tractor unit
(C800201 for the FX-890 or C800211 for the FX-2190) and
install it in the pull position.
You can use the front, bottom, or rear paper slot with the pull
tractor.
Tractor position Description
front push
Load paper from the front slot.
If you print on thick paper such as multipart
forms, use the front paper slot because this
paper path is almost straight. This reduces
the chances of paper jams.
rear push
Load paper from the rear slot.
Do not load continuous paper with labels
from the rear slot. Labels require a straight
paper path; otherwise they may come off
their backing sheets inside the printer and
cause a paper jam.
The rear slot is also not recommended when
your multipart forms have 5 or 6 parts
(1 original plus 4 or 5 copies), because paper
might jam.
Paper slot Description
front
If you print on thick paper such as multipart
forms or continuous paper with labels, use
the front paper slot because this paper path
is nearly straight. This reduces the chances
of paper jams.
bottom
The bottom paper slot has the straightest
paper path, so it is the best slot to use when
printing on thick paper, such as multipart
forms or continuous paper with labels.
When loading paper from the bottom slot,
be sure to use a printer stand with an
opening large enough for the paper to feed
through it without obstruction.
rear
If the front or bottom paper slot is
unavailable, you can also load ordinary
continuous paper from the rear slot. Please
note that loading paper 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 from the rear slot. The labels may
come off the backing sheets inside the
printer and cause a paper jam.
