Paper problems
Regular or intermittent paper tearing
Common situations that cause paper tearing while the printer is operat-
ing include:
The paper was incorrectly loaded in the machine.
A pinchwheel(s) is positioned over a drive shaft bearing.
Figure 22 represents the proper paper path, with the paper after it
is inserted properly and taped to the take-up shaft. The illustration
shows the dancer bar in place.
