Loading the push/pull tractor

To use the push and pull tractors in combination, you must first

Note:
The standard rear push tractor cannot be removed.
To load paper in the tractor, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the tractor is in the push/pull tractor position and the
paper release lever is set to either the front push or rear push
tractor position.
2. Load paper in the front or rear push tractor as described in the
previous sections.
3. Push the LF/FF button to advance the paper to the next page.
4. Fit the paper to the pull tractor's sprocket as described in the
previous section.
5. Move the paper release lever to the pull tractor position, and use
micro adjust (described in the next chapter) to remove any
slack in the paper.
6. Move the paper release lever back to the push tractor position.
7. Attach the paper guide and printer cover.
