Caution:
Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear 
slot; the labels may come off the backing sheet inside 
the printer and cause a jam.

Note:
If you leave the standard tractor in the rear push position and install 
the optional tractor in the front push position, you can load one type 
of continuous paper onto the front push tractor and another type onto 
the rear push tractor. You can easily switch between the two paper 
types using the paper release lever. Before moving the paper release 
lever, always press the Load/Eject button to feed the paper in the 
paper path backward to the standby position.

You can load ordinary single sheets (not single-sheet multi-
part forms) and envelopes one at a time from the top of the 
printer, using the paper guide that comes with the printer.

You can also load single-sheet paper using an optional cut-
sheet feeder, front sheet guide, or front paper guide.

Use the paper release lever to select which paper source you 
want the printer to load paper from. The table below shows 
the corresponding paper path(s) for each paper release lever 
position.

For loading single sheets from the top (from the 
paper guide or an optional cut-sheet feeder) or from 
the optional sheet or paper guide in the front.

For loading continuous paper from the tractor 
installed in the front push position. Also set the 
lever to this position when using the pull and front 
push tractors in combination.

For loading continuous paper from the tractor 
installed in the rear push position. Also set the lever 
to this position when using the pull and rear push 
tractors in combination.

For loading continuous paper from the tractor 
installed on top of the printer in the pull position. 
When the tractor is in the pull position, you can 
load paper in the printer from the front, rear, or 
bottom slot.

Pull tractor
Rear paper slot

You can load ordinary continuous paper in the 
rear slot. However, loading thick paper in the 
rear slot is not recommended because the 
paper path from the rear slot is curved and a 
paper jam may occur.
