Pull Tractor; Loading Paper With The Push Tractor And The Optional - Epson 5000/5500 User Manual

Pull Tractor

The optional pull tractors, C80019* (for ActionPrinter 5000) and
C80022* (for ActionPrinter 5500) provide optimum continuous
paper handling. (The asterisk is a substitute for the last digit, which
varies according to country.) The pull tractor is especially useful
with continuous multi-part forms. For best results, use the optional
pull tractor along with your standard tractor installed in the push-
tractor position.
