Forms Tractor Unit Installation
For printing on continuous forms, the forms tractor unit can be installed in the Front
Push, Rear Push, or Rear Pull positions. In combination with a second tractor unit,
|
you can also have Dual Push and Push-Pull positions. Manual sheet feed
|
(cut-sheet forms) is available at all times although its use is not recommended in
|
conjunction with the Rear Pull or Push-Pull paper paths. For more information on
these paper paths, see Chapter 17, “Paper Loading.”
|
This procedure is based on the assumption that the forms tractor is mounted in the
|
Front Push position.
Note: Your printer comes with one tractor unit. If you ordered a second optional
tractor, after completing this chapter refer to Chapter 17, “Paper Loading” for
installing the second tractor.

CAUTION:
|
The construction of this printer provides extra protection against the risk
|
of electric shock by grounding appropriate metal parts. The extra
|
protection may not function unless the power cord is connected to a
|
properly grounded outlet. This printer has a grounding-type (3-wire)
|
power cord because grounding is necessary. It is the responsibility of
|
the customer or the person installing the printer to connect it to a
|
properly grounded outlet. Seek professional assistance before using an
|
adapter or extension cord; such a device could interrupt the grounding
|
circuit.
|
If this printer is connected to an outlet that has been incorrectly
|
connected to the building wiring, serious electric shock could result.
