How Automatic Switching Works
When the printer reaches end-of-forms on the current path, it automatically will
switch to the second continuous forms path and perform a load operation. If forms
are mounted on the tractor pins, printing will continue. If left completely
unattended, the printer will print using the second box of forms until either the job
is finished or the end-of-forms is reached for the second forms source. The ‘001
END OF FORMS’ message will only be displayed on the operator panel when both
of the continuous forms paths are empty.
While the printer is printing on the second path, you could again load forms onto
the pins of the first tractor. If you do this, the printer will again switch
automatically when it reaches end-of-forms. You can continue doing this
indefinitely. As long as forms are loaded on the pins of the other tractor, the
printer will automatically switch to that tractor when the current tractor reaches
end-of-forms. The ‘001 END OF FORMS’ message will only be displayed on the
operator panel when both of the continuous forms paths are empty.

Note:
This forms path procedure assumes that both tractors are not installed in the
printer and are in the Push or fully-extended position. If either one or both
of the tractors are in the Rear Pull or angled position, follow these steps
before continuing with the Dual Push procedure:
v
Place the tractor face down on a flat surface with the electrical connector
tab on the right side, pointing toward you.
v
Pull the bottom release levers toward you with your finger tips and push
the movable edge of the tractor down toward the flat surface with your
