Options Problem Using the pull tractor with the push tractor, continuous paper does not feed properly (continued). Skip over perforation is set, but the skip has shifted from the perforation, or the perforation does not fall in the center of the skip. When the printing ends the paper feeds abruptly, and as it resumes printing, the paper feeds backward and comes off the pull tractor sprockets. When the LOAD/EJECT button is pressed to eject the paper, the paper comes off the pull tractor sprockets. Solution The page length for one page of the continuous paper may be set incorrectly. Use DIP switches 2-1 and 2-2. See Chapter 3. You can use control codes ESC C or ESC C 0 to set the correct page length. See Chapter 9. The loading position of the paper may be too high or too low. Use the microadjustment feature to reset the loading position. See Chapter 3. The short tear-off function may be selected. The short tear-off function cannot be used with the pull tractor, so be sure to set DIP switch 2-7 to off. See Chapter 3. When the paper release lever is in the continuous paper position, the paper feeds backward to eject. When using the pull tractor, press the FORM FEED button to feed the paper forward to eject. See Chapter 5. 7-34 Troubleshooting
