Printing On Continuous Paper - Epson FX-2180 User Manual

Printing on continuous paper

You can choose from three tractor positions (front push, rear
push, and pull) and three paper entry slots (front, rear, and
bottom) for continuous paper printing. This section helps you
determine which paper paths and tractor positions are best for
your continuous paper printing needs. See the appropriate
sections in Chapter 2 for tractor installation and paper loading
instructions.
Using a push tractor
If you often need to tear off sheets of continuous paper (for
example, if you are printing purchase orders or sales slips), it is
best to use a push tractor. This allows you to use the printer's
tear-off edge to easily tear off printed sheets of continuous
paper at the perforation. Also, when continuous paper is
loaded on a push tractor, you can load single sheets of paper
from the paper guide without removing the continuous paper.
There are two push tractor positions: front and rear. The
tractors are installed in the front push and rear push positions
when the printer is shipped. See the table below for details
about the push positions and the corresponding paper-feeding
paths.
Note:
Always load multi-part forms with seven parts (one original plus six
o
copies) from the front or bottom slot onto the pull tractor.
The tractor in the rear push position cannot be removed.
