Using the Tractor in the Pull Position
Using the tractor in the pull position is ideal for printing on thick 
and heavy continuous paper, such as multi-part forms or 
continuous paper with labels. However, you cannot use the tear-
off feature with the pull tractor.
Because thick paper requires a straight paper path to avoid paper 
jams, you should load paper in the front or bottom slot when 
using the pull tractor.

Caution:
Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear paper slot; 
the labels may come off their backing sheet inside the printer and 
cause a paper jam.
To further reduce the chance of paper jams and improve the 
performance of continuous paper, you can use two tractors in 
combination. When using this printing method, load the paper 
onto both the front push tractor and the pull tractor, or both the 
rear push tractor and the pull tractor. See “Using two tractors in 
a push/pull combination” on page 2-29.
Installing the tractor in the pull position 
To install a tractor in the pull position, you must either remove 
the front push tractor or purchase the optional pull tractor 
(C80033✽
).
 To remove the front push tractor, see
 
Note:
The tractor in the rear push position cannot be removed.
To install a tractor in the pull position, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned off. Then lift the printer cover 
up and off the printer.
