Changing Tractor Positions - Epson FX-2170 User Manual

Make sure you align your paper supply with the paper loaded in
the tractor so the paper feeds smoothly into the printer.
If you feed paper through the bottom paper slot, use a printer
stand that has a large enough opening for paper to feed from the
bottom without obstruction.

Changing tractor positions

You can use the removable tractor unit as either a front push
tractor or a pull tractor; you just change the tractor position
according to your paper feeding method.
Note:
The rear push tractor cannot be removed.
Using the front push tractor position
Before installing the tractor in the front position, you need to
remove it from its current position (top) by pressing the tractor's
lock tabs while you lift it off the printer.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
