Epson 5000 Benutzerhandbuch

You can print on continuous paper from 101 mm (4 inches) to 254

mm (10 inches) wide on the ActionPrinter 5000 and from 101 m m

(4 inches) to 406 mm (16 inches) wide on the ActionPrinter 5500.

You can feed continuous paper from the rear, front, or bottom.
Your printer comes with the tractor installed in the push-tractor
position, for feeding paper from the rear. If this is your paper-
feeding method, skip to page 2-12. To feed paper from the front or

bottom, you must install the tractor in the pull-tractor position.

You can also install an optional pull tractor and use both the push

and pull tractors together.

Below are the various ways of feeding continuous paper. Always

move the paper-release lever to the position indicated for the paper-

feeding method you are using.

Make sure you align your paper supply with the paper loaded in

the tractor so the paper feeds smoothly into the printer.

If you want to feed paper through the bottom paper slot, use a
printer stand that has a large enough opening for paper to feed

from the bottom without obstruction.
