2. Friction Feeding
The paper is loaded from the upper paper entrance with the paper release lever set backward. The paper
is held against the platen by the paper feed roller and is fed due to friction by the platen and paper
feed roller.
During friction feeding, the paper release lever retracts the tractor gear from the tractor transmission
gear so that the push tractor is not driven.
