The paper bail holds the paper against the platen according to
the setting of the release lever. The bail is opened when the
release lever is in the top position, closed when the lever is in
the second or third positions, and opened by the printer when
the lever is in the bottom position.

Use friction feed for single sheets and tractor feed for
continuous paper.
n Loading single sheets
Instead of feeding the paper in manually by turning the platen
knob, you can use the release lever for automatic
feeding (the
printer must be turned on). Single sheets from 5.5 to 8.5 inches
wide (6 to 14.5 inches for the 15-inch type) can be used and the
paper guide must be fitted:
1. Flip the clamp levers backward and move the sprockets
and sheet guides on the tractor feed unit all the way to
the ends.
2. With the ribs of the paper guide toward you and the
sliding adjuster at the bottom left, insert the guide into
the slot at the back of the printer cover.
3. Insert the guide stand in the notches provided for it and
prop up the paper guide.
4. Position the adjuster at the triangle marked on the guide
for standard margins, or set it according to your own re-
quirements.
