Switching Between Front and Rear Tractors
You can easily switch between paper loaded on the front tractor 
and paper loaded on the rear tractor. The instructions below 
explain how to switch from the front tractor to the rear tractor, 
but you can follow the same steps to switch from the rear tractor 
to the front tractor. 
c
Caution:
Never switch between tractors if labels are already loaded in the 
printer. First remove the labels by tearing off the fresh supply 
below the tractor and pressing 
LF/FF Load to eject the remaining 
labels. 
Before you start, make sure the printer is turned on and that the 
front tractor is selected (the front tractor arrow on the Tractor 
Select indicator should be lit). If you are in the middle of printing 
a document, wait for the printer to finish printing before you 
switch tractors. Then follow these steps:
1. If no paper is loaded in the rear tractor, load paper to the 
standby position (the first five pins of the sprockets). See 
“Loading Paper onto the Rear Tractor” on page 20 for 
instructions.
