%Loading Bottom Feed Paper
Loading Bottom Feed Paper
You must have the optional pull tractor installed in order to feed continuous-form paper into the
printer through the bottom. See page 33 for instructions on how to install the pull tractor. Bottom
feed is required for printing labels. The straighter paper path also makes it more convenient for
heavier papers, such as card stock, which may have trouble wrapping around the platen roller.
1.Place the printer on a stand with a slot for bottom paper feed. Put the paper in a stack underneath
the slot.
2.Turn the printer OFF.
3.Make sure the paper selection lever is forward (continuous-form
position).
4.Open the access cover and pull the bail lever forward.
5.Feed the paper into the printer through the slot in the bottom of the printer.
6.Release the lock levers and open the tractor covers on the pull tractors.
7.Position the left edge of the paper no further than 1/ÿ inch from the left end of the platen.
Note: The paper must cover the groove in the left side of the platen. If it doesn't, the printer will
signal paper out (flashing the SELECT light).
8.Adjust the position of the pull tractors to align their pins with the holes in the paper.
9.Place the paper holes on the sprocket pins of the pull tractor and close the tractor covers.
