Troubleshooting
What to do
Select tractor feeding. For more
information, see "Selecting a Paper
Source" on page 2-2.
See Chapter 2 for instructions on
loading continuous paper on the
tractor you want to use.
Reload the paper on the tractor as
described in "Loading continuous
paper with the tractor" on page 2-9.
Set the paper thickness lever to match
the thickness of your paper. See
"Adjusting the Paper Thickness
Lever" on page 2-6.
Make sure the paper supply is not
obstructed by a cable or some other
object. See "Positioning your
continuous paper supply" on page 2-8.
Check that the holes on the sides of the
paper are aligned with each other. Also
make sure the sprocket units are
locked and their covers are closed.

Tear off the printed pages at the
perforation. Then press the
Load/Eject button to feed the paper
backward to the standby position.
