Switching between continuous paper and single-sheet 
paper in the cut-sheet feeder
You can easily switch between continuous paper on a push tractor and 
single-sheet paper in the cut-sheet feeder without removing the continuous 
paper.
Switching to continuous paper
1.
If any sheets are in the paper path, press the Load/Eject button 
to eject them.
2.
Move the printer’s paper release lever to the front or rear push tractor 
position. Also set the paper thickness lever to the proper position for 
your paper.
3.
Move the cut-sheet feeder’s paper selection lever to the continuous 
paper position.
Switching to single-sheet paper in the cut-sheet feeder
1.
If any continuous paper remains in the printer, press the Tear Off/Bin 
button to advance the paper to the tear-off position. Then tear off the

Caution:
Tear off any printed documents before pressing the 
Load/Eject button in 
the next step. Reverse feeding several pages at a time may cause a paper jam.
2.
Press the Load/Eject button. The printer feeds the paper backward to 
the standby position. The paper is still attached to the push tractor but 
is no longer in the paper path.
3.
Move the printer’s paper release lever to the single-sheet position. Also 
set the paper thickness lever to the proper position for the thickness of 
your single-sheet paper.
4.
Move the cut-sheet feeder’s paper type lever to the single-sheet 
position.
5.
If you are using the double-bin cut-sheet feeder, select the bin you want 
to use as described on “Selecting the paper source (bin 1 or bin 2)” on 
page A-10.
