Using a pull tractor
If you often print on thick or heavy continuous paper, such as
multi-part forms or continuous paper with labels, use a tractor in
the pull position. The pull tractor provides 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 pull tractor, you can remove the tractor from the
front push position and install it in the pull position, or you can purchase
the optional pull tractor (C80032 ) and install it in the pull position.
See Chapter 2 for instructions.

Getting to Know Your Printer
Description
To use this tractor, load paper in the front slot. If you
print on thick paper such as multi-part forms or
continuous paper with labels, load the paper in the
front paper slot because the paper path from this
slot is almost straight. This reduces the chance of
paper jams.
To use this tractor, load paper in the rear slot.
Note:
Because thick multi-part forms require a straight
paper path, load them in the front slot.
Caution:
Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear
slot. If you load continuous paper with labels in the
rear slot, the labels may come off their backing
sheet inside the printer and cause a paper jam.
