Using the Two-Tractor System
The DFX-5000’s paper handling system consists of a front push
tractor and a rear push tractor. Both tractors are easy to load and
operate, and both accommodate a wide variety of paper types,
including labels and multi-part forms. The printer automatically
adjusts to the thickness of your loaded paper, so you don’t need to
make any manual adjustments for paper thickness settings.
You can use any width continuous paper, from 4 to 16 inches
wide. However, the width of your printed text must be narrower
than the size of the paper you are using-otherwise, you might
damage the printer by printing on the platen.
If you are going to use more than two types of paper, it’s best to
load the paper you use most often onto the rear tractor. That way
you can reserve the front tractor, which is easier to reach, for the
paper you change more frequently. Always use the front tractor
for printing on labels.
Positioning the paper supply
Since the DFX-5000 can be loaded with continuous paper from
both the front and the rear, be sure to leave enough room around
the printer for the two stacks of fresh paper as well a third stack of
printed output. It is also important to keep both stacks of fresh
paper aligned with the printer so that the paper can feed smoothly
into the printer.
