Paper Handling 11
Chapter 1
Paper Handling
Your printer can handle continuous paper in either the push or
the pull position, as well as single sheets and special papers such
as labels and envelopes.
For instructions on using continuous paper, see the following
section. To load single sheets, see page 26. For information about
special paper, see page 29.
Printing on Continuous Paper
You can print on continuous paper using the tractor in either the
push or pull position:
❏ Use the tractor in the push position if you want to be able to
switch between printing on single sheets and continuous
paper without removing the paper supply, or if you will be
tearing off continuous paper sheet-by-sheet. (Follow the
instructions in the next section.) The printer comes with the
tractor installed in the push position.
❏ Use the tractor in the pull position if you will be printing on
labels, multipart forms, or other documents that require a
precise print position. (See “Printing with the pull tractor”
on page 17 for instructions.)
