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. (To switch tractors when the
optional pull tractor is installed, see Chapter 6.)
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), as
described in steps 2 through 13 on page 3-10.
