Paper Handling
Using the Two-Tractor System
Your printer’s paper handling system consists of a front push 
tractor and a rear push tractor. Both tractors are easy to load and 
operate, and both accommodate a wide variety of paper types, 
including labels and multi-part forms. 
The printer automatically adjusts to the thickness of the paper 
loaded when the Platen gap setting is set to Auto in the SelecType 
mode. See “SelecType mode” on page 88 for details.
You can print on continuous paper from 3 inches (76.2 mm) to 
16.5 inches (419.1 mm) wide. Your printer senses the paper width 
automatically. 
When using more than two types of paper, load the paper you use 
most often onto the front tractor. The front tractor, which is easier 
to reach, will be available for the paper you change more 
frequently. 
Note:
❏ Before using your paper, check that it matches the specifications 
described in this manual. See “Paper” on page 171 for details. Also 
make sure your paper has a straight edge.
❏ If continuous paper is fed past the sprocket (on the last page, for 
example), the paper may not feed properly.
❏ When the optional perforation cutter (#C81507X) is installed, the 
printable width is from 4 inches (101.6 mm) to 16 inches (406.4 
mm).
