Adjusting the Loading Position If you want to adjust the position where printing begins on the page, follow these steps (these instructions also work when you use the pull or push tractor): With paper loaded, hold down the Pause button until the printer beeps once and the Font light begins to flash. Press the LF/FF button to feed the paper forward, or press the Font button to feed the paper backward. '(Press either button as many times as necessary until you reach the desired position.) To complete the adjustment, press the Pause button or send data from your computer. Printing on Continuous Paper Your printer can handle continuous paper with a width of 101 mm (4.0 inches) to 254 mm (10.0 inches). Depending on where you position the tractor, you can use it as a pull tractor or a push tractor. These guidelines can help you decide where to position the tractor: Do you want to switch between printing on single sheets and continuous paper without removing the paper supply? Will you tear off continuous paper sheet-by-sheet? If yes, use the tractor in the push tractor position. (The printer comes with the tractor installed in this positim) seethe following section. Are you printing on labels? If yes, use the tractor as a pull tractor. If your documents require a more precise print position, use the optional pull tractor (C800301) in addition to the built-in tractor in the push tractor position. Printing in the push tractor position When using the push tractor, it is a good idea to set the Auto tear off feature in the Printer Setting mode to on. Here's how to load continuous paper using the push tractor: 1. Make sure the printer is turned off. Remove the paper guide and place the paper-release lever in the continuous paper position.
