Push tractor unit
Installing the push tractor unit
The push tractor unit allows you to print on continuous fanfold paper up to 10" wide. The
push tractor unit consists of two end pieces joined by two silver metal rods. The metal rods
have two black sliding tractor units and a black sliding support piece mounted on them.
Install the push tractor unit using the following steps:
• Make sure the printer is switched off.
• Open the front cover by hooking your fingers under the two small projecting tabs on
either side of the front cover. Grip the cover firmly and pull upwards. The front cover
will come loose.
• Now pull the cover up and forwards so that it swings open.
• Open the rear cover by pushing it backwards so that it folds back and down.
• Pull the release lever forward.
• Hold the push tractor unit with your thumb and forefinger on the ridges near the top and
with the slot facing towards you.

• Hook the slots in the end pieces over the shaft just behind and above the platen roller.

• Using your forefinger and thumb squeeze the end piece levers against the rear part of the
end pieces. Rotate the tractor feed unit downwards until the bottom of the levers fit
snugly into the indentations in the metal plate inside the printer body.

• Release the two levers and check that the tractor unit is properly secured. The unit is
now locked in place. Make sure that the covers on both tractors are closed.
• Close the rear cover by swinging it forwards and upwards. Click it firmly back into
place.
• Close the front cover.
Loading fanfold paper
• Position the stack of fanfold paper behind the printer.
• Turn the printer off.
• Pull the release lever forward.
• If there is a single sheet that has been fed into the printer, remove it.
• Open the front cover by hooking your fingers under the two small projecting tabs on
either side of the front cover. Grip the cover firmly and pull upwards. The front cover
will come loose.
• Now pull the cover up and forwards so that it swings open.
• Pass the fanfold paper through the horizontal slot in the back of the printer.
• Open the rear cover by pushing it backwards so that it folds back and down. Pull the
paper through.
• Pull the gray levers on the tractors forward and adjust the tractors’ positions by sliding
them sideways.
• Lock the tractors in position by pushing the levers back down again.
• Open the covers on both tractors and position the paper by aligning the holes in the
paper with the pins on the tractors.
Page 6
• Ensure that the paper is properly aligned on the tractor pins. Otherwise, it may tear or
jam.
• Close the tractor covers. If necessary, make any final adjustments to the paper position.
Release one or both of the tractors by pulling the gray levers forward and moving the
tractors sideways.
• Push the gray levers backwards again to fix the paper in position.
• Close the rear cover by swinging it forwards and upwards. Click it firmly back into
place.
• Close the front cover. Pull the paper delivery selector forwards and down.
• Turn the printer on. The printer will beep to indicate that the paper is not completely
loaded yet.
• Press the [PAPER] key. The fanfold paper will be fed in to the starting position.
Note: Keep the release lever in the forward position while printing on fan-
fold paper.
Printing on fanfold paper
Two useful features of this printer that facilitate the use of continuous stationery are paper
parking (fanfold paper can remain installed in the printer while you temporarily switch to
printing on single sheets), and the tear-off function (you can remove printed output without
losing the current paper position). These are described in the following sections.
You can also use the same paper position adjustment techniques, such as line feed and form
feed, that you use with single cut sheets.
You can also set a new auto load position (the distance from the top of each new page at
which the printer automatically starts printing) specifically for fanfold paper. This is independent of the cut sheet auto load position. Both auto load positions can be saved as part of
a macro, so that you do not have to reset them each time you switch the printer off and on
again.

English
When printing on continuous stationery, take care not to print too close to the perforations
which separate each sheet. This can cause poor quality output, paper misalignment or
paper jamming. The recommended printable area for fanfold paper is shown in the following diagram.
If you need to use continuous multi-part forms, use the type which has both side edges
glued together. Do not use forms with more than three parts.
Make sure that the print gap is correctly set for the thickness of paper that you are using.
Parking paper
If you want to use single sheets, but do not want to remove the fanfold paper, you can
“park” the fanfold paper.
• Tear off the paper at a perforation, so that not more than half a page protrudes above the
paper delivery selector (if necessary, put the printer in not-ready mode and feed paper
through by pressing the [PAPER] key until a perforation is just visible above the paper
delivery selector).
• Make sure that the printer is in ready mode and that the release lever is forward. Press
the [PAPER] key. The printer now automatically feeds the paper backwards until it is no
longer in contact with the platen.
• Push the release lever backwards. Now you can load and print on single sheets.
When you want to resume using fanfold paper, you can “unpark” it as described in the following section.
Unparking paper
To resume using fanfold paper, you can “unpark” the fanfold paper as follows:
• Remove all single sheets from the printer.
• Pull the release lever forward.
• Press the [PAPER] key. The printer feeds the parked fanfold paper back into position,
ready for printing.

Note: You can always unpark paper, whether the printer is in “ready
mode” or “not-ready mode”.
Using the tear-off function
You can remove finished fanfold output without disturbing the current position of the
paper.
• Make sure that the printer is in ready mode, hold down the [READY] key and then hold
down the [PAPER] key. Keep both keys held down. The printer starts to feed the paper
through the printer.
• Release both keys. The printer automatically goes into not-ready mode.
• Tear off the paper, using the paper delivery selector’s tear-assist edge.
• Press the [READY] key again. The printer winds the paper back to its former position so
that printing can be resumed. The printer remains in ready mode.

Der Schubtraktor
Installieren des Schubtraktors
Der Schubtraktor ermöglicht Ihnen, Endlospapier von bis zu 254 mm Breite einzuspannen.
Der Schubtraktor besteht aus zwei schwarzen Endstücken, die mit zwei silbernen Metall-
stäben verbunden sind. Auf die Metallstäbe sind zwei verschiebare Schubtraktoren und ein
verschiebbares schwarzes Stützelement aufmontiert.
Den Schubtraktor unter Beachtung folgender Schritte installieren:
• Vergewissern, daß der Drucker ausgeschaltet ist.
• Vordere Abdeckung durch Einhaken der Finger unter die beiden schmalen Vorsprünge
auf jeder Seite der Frontabdeckung öffnen. Die Abdeckung mit festem Griff nach oben
ziehen. Die Abdeckung löst sich.
• Nun die Abdeckung nach vorne hochziehen, so daß sie sich durch Schwenken öffnet.
• Die hintere Abdeckung durch Zurückschieben öffnen, so daß sie nach hinten aufgeklappt werden kann.
• Den Papierwahlschalter nach vorne ziehen.
• Den Schubtraktor zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger an den Endstücken im oberen Teil
mit der Nute auf Ihren Körper gerichtet halten.
