Using the push and pull tractors in combination
You can improve paper feeding and reduce paper jams by using
two tractors at the same time. This is especially helpful for
printing on continuous pre-printed forms, multi-part forms, or
labels, and for printing high-quality graphics. When using two
tractors in combination, you can load paper either in the front
paper slot both the front push tractor and the pull tractor, or in
the rear paper slot with both the rear push tractor and the pull
tractor.

Getting to Know Your Printer
Description
To use the rear push tractor with the pull tractor, you need
to remove the standard tractor that comes in the front
push position and install it in the pull position.
Note:
Because thick multi-part forms require a straight paper
path, load them in the front slot.
Caution:
Do not load continuous paper with labels onto
the rear push tractor even when it is used in combination
with the pull tractor. If you load continuous paper with
labels onto the rear push/pull tractor, the labels may
come off their backing sheet inside the printer and cause
a paper jam.
To use the front push tractor with the pull tractor, you
need to purchase the optional pull tractor (C800332) and
install it in the pull position.
