Using The Tractor In The Pull Position; Installing The Tractor In The Pull Position - Epson FX-1180 User Manual

Using the Tractor in the Pull Position

Using the tractor in the pull position is ideal for printing on
thick and heavy continuous paper, such as multi-part forms or
continuous paper with labels. However, you cannot use the
tear-off feature with the pull tractor.
Because thick paper requires straight paper path to avoid paper
jams, you should load paper in the front or bottom slot when
using the pull tractor. To further reduce the chance of paper
jams and improve the performance of continuous paper, you
can use two tractors in combination. See "Using two tractor in a
push/pull combination" on page 3-30 for more information.
To install the tractor in the pull position, you need to remove
the paper tension unit and install the tractor in its place. Follow
the steps in the next section.

Installing the tractor in the pull position

Before installing the tractor in the pull position, remove it from
its current position. If the tractor is in the front push position,
remove it by pressing the tractor's lock tabs while lifting it out.
If the tractor is in the rear push position, remove the paper
guide and then press the tractor's lock tabs while lifting it out.
Note:
The tractor is installed in the rear push position when the printer is
shipped.
