Chapter 2
Paper Handling

Using the Two-Tractor System

Your printer'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 the paper
loaded when the Platen gap setting is set to Auto in the SelecType
mode. See "SelecType mode" on page 90 for details.
You can print on continuous paper from 3 inches (76.2 mm) to
16.5 inches (419.1 mm) wide. Your printer senses the paper width
automatically.
When using more than two types of paper, load the paper you use
most often onto the front tractor. The front tractor, which is easier
to reach, will be available for the paper you change more
frequently.
Note:
❏ Before using your paper, check that it matches the specifications
described in this manual. See "Paper" on page 174 for details. Also
make sure your paper has a straight edge.
❏ If continuous paper is fed past the sprocket (on the last page, for
example), the paper may not feed properly.
❏ When the optional perforation cutter (#C81507X) is installed, the
printable width is from 4 inches (101.6 mm) to 16 inches (406.4
mm).
