Switching Between Front and Rear Tractors You can easily switch between paper loaded on the front tractor and paper loaded on the rear tractor.

(To switch tractors when the optional pull tractor is installed, see Chapter 6.) WARNING: Never switch between tractors when labels are already loaded in the printer.
