Printing on Continuous Paper

Your printer can handle continuous paper from 101.6 mm
(4.0 inches) to 254.0 mm (10.0 inches) wide. Depending on where
you position the tractor, you can use it as a pull tractor or a push
tractor. The following guidelines can help you decide where to
position the tractor:
Do you want to switch between printing on single sheets and
continuous paper without removing the paper supply? Will
you tear off continuous paper sheet-by-sheet? Use the tractor
in the push tractor position. (The printer comes with the
tractor installed in this position.) See the following section.
Are you printing on labels, multipart forms, or other
documents that require a precise print position? Use the
tractor as a pull tractor. See "Printing with the pull tractor"
on page 2-17 for instructions.

Printing with the push tractor

When using the push tractor, it is a good idea to set the Auto tear
off feature in the Default Setting mode to On. See "About Your
Printer's Default Settings" on page 2-3.
