As shown in the table below, three paper entry slots are available for use with the pull tractor: front, bottom, and rear. Paper slot Description If you print on thick paper such as multi-part forms or continuous paper with labels, load it using the front paper slot because the paper path from this slot is almost straight. This reduces the chance of paper jams. front bottom rear Because the bottom paper slot has the straightest paper path, it is ideal for printing on thick paper, such as multi-part forms or continuous paper with labels. Note: When loading paper in the bottom slot, be sure to use a printer stand with an opening large enough so that the paper can feed through it without obstruction. You can also load continuous paper onto the pull tractor using the rear slot. When you print on multi-part forms that are bound on only one side by point glueing, load it in the rear slot; the printer cannot feed this type of form from the front or bottom slot. Note: Because thick multi-part forms require a straight paper path, load them in the front slot. Caution: Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear slot. If you 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. 6 Getting to Know Your Printer
