Tractor Sensor Check and Adjustment
Use this procedure when the printer displays a '02/002/020 FORMS JAM' message that is caused by a forms
tractor sensor.
To verify that the tractor sensor is requesting the message, with the '02/002/020 FORMS JAM' message in the
display, open and close the printer top cover. If the carriage does not move across the print line, investigate the
tractor sensor.
The tractor sensor is located under the blue cover on each tractor assembly. When the printer is operating
correctly, a light beam between the transmitter and receiver of the tractor is interrupted by the tractor holes in the
forms, as the forms travel through the tractor.
Attention: Do not use T&D11 for this procedure. T&D11 only applies to the paper presence sensors.
When the printer displays a '02/002/020 FORMS JAM' message, examine the tractor for damaged forms.

b. If you find chad, and judge it to be excessive, advise the customer to:
v Frequently clean out the chad.
