Using The Tractor In The Pull Position; Installing The Tractor In The Pull Position - Epson LQ-570e 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 multipart forms or
continuous paper with labels. However, you cannot use the tear-
off feature with the pull tractor.
Because thick paper requires a straight paper path to avoid paper
jams, you should load paper in the front or bottom slot when
using the pull tractor.
c
Caution:
Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear paper slot;
the labels may come off their backing sheet inside the printer and
cause a paper jam.
To further reduce the chance of paper jams and improve the
performance of continuous paper, you can use two tractors in
combination. When using this printing method, load the paper
onto both the push tractor and the pull tractor. See "Using two
tractors in the push/pull combination" on page 2-22.
