Loading Paper
Using the Two-Tractor System
Your printer can load paper from a front tractor and a rear tractor. Be sure to 
leave enough room around the printer for the two stacks of fresh paper and for 
the printed stack. Align your paper supply so the paper feeds smoothly into the 
printer.
Place the paper supply lower than the printer to avoid a paper jam. Make sure 
that your stack of printed pages does not interfere with the rear tractor’s paper 
supply.
Supported Paper Types and Sizes
You can use the following types of continuous paper with either tractor:
Single-sheet

You can print on continuous paper from 3 inches (76.2 mm) to 16.5 inches

The printer automatically adjusts to the thickness of the paper loaded when the 
platen gap setting is set to

Make sure your paper matches the specifications described in the on-screen
