Cut-sheet feeder operation (See Figure 2-8.)

The pulse motor used for the paper feed mechanism is mounted on the left of the frame,
and the rotation of the motor is transmitted through decelerating gears (LF idle gear, platen
gear) to the platen. When using cut-sheet paper, the change lever must be in the  TOP
position to grab the paper, while disengaging the push tractor.

When the change lever is set to the  TOP  position, the cut sheet is automatically fed
in up to the print start position after pausing for the wait time stored in the menu.
