Using a pull tractor
If you often print on thick or heavy continuous paper, such as
multipart forms or continuous paper with labels, use a tractor in
the pull position. The pull tractor provides you with the best
paper jam prevention, and allows you to load continuous paper
from the front, rear, or bottom of the printer. However, you cannot
use the tear-off feature with the pull tractor.
Note:
If you plan to use a tractor in the pull position, you can remove the tractor
from the rear push position and reinstall it in the pull position, or you
can purchase an optional tractor unit (C80020 ) and install it in the
pull position. See Chapter 2 for instructions.
You can use the front, bottom, or rear paper slot with the pull
tractor.

Description
If you print on thick paper such as multipart forms or
continuous paper with labels, use the front paper
slot because this paper path is almost straight. This
reduces the chance of paper jams.
The bottom paper slot has the straightest paper
path, so it is the best slot to use when printing on
thick paper, such as multipart forms or continuous
paper with labels.
Note:
When loading paper in the bottom slot, be sure to
use a printer stand with an opening large enough
for the paper to feed through it without obstruction.
