Available Paper Paths Your printer provides a variety of paper paths for printing on continuous and single-sheet paper. As described below, paper can be fed into the printer from the top, front, bottom, or rear. You can select the paper path that best suits your current printing needs. Printing on continuous paper You can choose from two tractor positions (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 the appropriate sections in Chapter 2 for tractor installation and paper loading instructions. Using the push tractor 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 push tractor. This allows you to use the printer's tear-off edge to easily tear off printed sheets of continuous paper at the perforation. Also, when continuous paper is loaded on the push tractor, you can load single sheets of paper from the paper guide without removing the continuous paper from the tractor. The tractor is installed in the rear push position when the printer is shipped. See the table below for details about the corresponding paper-feeding path. Tractor position Description Caution: Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear slot; the labels may come off their backing sheet inside the printer and cause a paper jam. push 4 Getting to Know Your Printer
