Paper Handling

Using Continuous Forms

Continuous forms paper, fanfolded at the horizontal perforations, is ideal for printing rough
drafts and long files. The paper is fed into the printer using the forms tractor unit. The
forms tractor unit, which is removable, can be used in two different ways. If the forms
tractor unit is mounted at the rear of the printer, it pushes paper from the rear to the platen.
This is called push-tractor feeding. If the forms tractor unit is mounted at the top of the
printer, it pulls paper from the bottom or rear of the printer to the platen. This is called pull-
tractor feeding.
Caution: When using continuous forms with the cut sheet stand in up position, always
spread the cut sheet stand paper guides to their extreme position before feeding
the paper. This will prevent the paper from jamming against the acoustic cover.
