Procedure
1. Use the Tractor Control Knob (6) to adjust the tractors close the correct width.
Use the scale just to the left of the tractor covers.
2. If your new forms are tractored, locate the red line on the lower tractor. Place
the forms on the tractor pins so that the form edge is as close as possible to
the red line without covering it. If necessary, use the Tractor Control Knob to
adjust the distance between the front and rear tractors:
v To increase the distance, turn the Tractor Control Knob clockwise.
v To decrease the distance, turn the Tractor Control Knob counterclockwise.
When the tractors are adjusted correctly, a sheet of forms should drop easily
onto the tractor pins and lay flat. The pins should be centered in the tractor
holes, without binding. Verify that the forms are aligned correctly on the
tractor pins.
3. If you are using tractorless forms, adjust the tractorless feeding unit (drive
roller, pressure roller, and vacuum belt unit slots (1)) to the same position
according to the following:

v Slot 2 – 10.5 in. to 13.4 in. paper width
v Slot 3 – 13.5 in. to 16.4 in. paper width
