7.
Open the lower left and right tractor doors. See Figure 2-17
Note
To load single-part paper, fold the paper over at a perforation so
that the first two forms are double-thick. Later, when printer
power is on, feed these doubled forms out of the printer before
adjusting the print gap.
8.
Hand feed the paper, bypassing the lower tractor pins, up
through the printer to the top tractors. After the printer is in
operation, the semiautomatic paper loading feature may be used.
Note
Initially, load the paper so that it will print on the second form
(rather than first form) because a default setting pulls the paper
down into the printer a minimum of 4 inches (see “Setting Top
of Form”). Later, vertical positioning and top of form (TOF)
alignment will be completed after the printer is in operation.
9.
Place the paper onto the pins of the upper left tractor and close
the tractor door.
If necessary, release the locking lever on the right-hand tractor by
flipping it down, and slide the tractor sideways to match the
paper width. If necessary, see Figure 2-18.
10.
Place the paper on the pins of the upper right tractor, making
sure that the paper is straight horizontally, and close the tractor
door.
With the right tractor locking lever released, slide the tractor
slightly to the right to make the paper taut. Excessive tension will
tear the pinholes and cause the paper to become misaligned. Lock
the tractor in place by pressing up on the locking lever.
