Available Paper Paths; Printing On Continuous Paper - Epson 24-Pin User Manual

Available Paper Paths

Your printer provides a variety of paper paths for printing on
continuous and single-sheet paper. As described below, paper can
be fed into the printer from the top, front, bottom, or rear. You can
select the paper path that best suits your current printing needs.

Printing on continuous paper

You can choose from two tractor positions (push and pull) and
three paper entry slots (front, rear, and bottom) for continuous
paper printing. This section helps you determine which paper
paths and tractor positions are best for your continuous paper
printing needs. See the appropriate sections in Chapter 2 for
tractor installation and paper loading instructions.
Using the push tractor
If you often need to tear off sheets of continuous paper (for
example, if you are printing purchase orders or sales slips), it is
best to use the push tractor. This allows you to use the printer's
tear-off edge to easily tear off printed sheets of continuous paper
at the perforation. Also, when continuous paper is loaded on the
push tractor, you can load single sheets of paper from the paper
guide without removing the continuous paper from the tractor.
The tractor is installed in the rear push position when the printer
is shipped. See the table below for details about the corresponding
paper-feeding path.

inside the printer and cause a paper jam.
