Printing on continuous paper

You can choose from three tractor positions (front push, rear

push, and pull) and three paper entry slots (front, rear, and

bottom) for continuous paper printing. This section helps you

determine which paper paths and tractor positions are best for

your continuous paper printing needs. See the appropriate

sections in Chapter 2 for tractor installation and paper loading

instructions.

Using a push tractor

If you often need to tear off sheets of continuous paper (for

example, if you are printing purchase orders or sales slips), it is

best to use a push tractor. This allows you to use the printer’s tear-

off edge to easily tear off printed sheets of continuous paper at

the perforation. Also, when continuous paper is loaded on a push

tractor, you can load single sheets of paper from the paper guide

without removing the continuous paper.

There are two push tractor positions: front and rear. The tractor

can be used only in the rear push position as standard. To use the

tractor in the front push position, you need to purchase the

optional tractor unit. See the table below for details about the

push positions and the corresponding paper-feeding paths.

Note:

The tractor in the rear push position cannot be removed.
