Paper handling
The printer does not feed continuous paper properly.
Cause
What to do
The wrong tractor may be
selected.
Check if the correct tractor arrow is lit
on the
Tractor Select
indicator.
If the wrong tractor is selected, be sure
paper is loaded to the standby position
on the tractor you want to use. Then
press the
Front/Rear
button to switch
to that tractor.
If the
Paper Select
displays a
memory number other than “0”, press
the
Pause
button. Then press the
Front/Rear
button to switch to that
tractor.
The printer may be out of
paper.
Load paper onto the tractor. The
tractor arrow on the Tractor Select
indicator should be green.
Note:
If paper jams in the paper path, see “Clearing a Paper Jam” later in this
chapter.
Paper jams, does not feed smoothly, or feeds at a slant.
Cause
What to do
The paper supply is too far
from the printer.
Make sure your paper supply is
positioned within 1 meter (3.28 feet)
of the printer.
The rear cover is open.
Close the rear cover before trying to
feed the paper.
