Semiautomatic Paper Loading

5000 Series Quick Reference Guide
13. Close the front cover. For the 55 dBa (5050/5100) cabinet model
printer, close the front access panel of the printer first, then close the
front cabinet door.
After the paper has been loaded, the print gap, paper tension, and
top of form position must be set.
Once the printer's tractors have been set up for the specific paper being
used and power has been applied, the semiautomatic paper loading
feature may be used.
After the paper is loaded in the lower tractors, pressing the FF
pushbutton causes the paper to move up, at a rate of 10 inches per
second to the top tractors.
Some extremely thin forms, stiff cardstock, forms with raised labels,
or envelopes with cutouts may not work with this loading process. If
you experience problems, load the paper manually.
With the print gap wheel in the LOAD position, the paper tension lever at
position 1, and the upper tractor doors open, complete the following
steps:
1. Load the paper onto the lower tractors by placing the paper on at
least three pins of each tractor, making certain that the paper is
aligned horizontally across the two lower tractors. Close the tractor
doors.
2. Open the upper tractor doors.
3. Press and hold the
the printer and into the upper tractors. Tug gently as the paper is
placed over the pins of the upper tractors to make certain there is no
excess slack or folds in the paper between the upper and lower
tractors.
4. Close the upper tractor doors. Unlock and adjust the upper right
tractor as needed.
