The Starting Line
Pull the paper bail forward. Open both tractor covers and center the paper guide
roller between them (Figure l-10).

Feed the incoming paper above the plastic tube but below the wire frame, into
the slot and right on around to the tractors. Move the tractors as necessary to
match the hold spacing in the paper. The tractor position lock levers are shown
in Figure l-10.
Position the paper holes on top of the tractor teeth and close the tractor covers.
Adjust one or both tractors so the paper is centered as you wish it, and is held
firmly in place. Push the bail back up against the paper.
Roll the paper forward with the roller knob.
The printer moves paper forward only, and never looks back. If we must turn
the roller back manually, the power should be OFF; it helps to pull lightly on the
paper.
Pull the bail back out of the way and set the paper so the top of a new sheet is
positioned right at the scribe mark on the metal platen (Figure l-11). Push the
bail back up against the paper.
