Loading Continuous Paper Onto the Push Tractor

Removing the Printed Document From the Push Tractor

Make sure the Tear Off/Bin lights are

flashing. (You may need to press the

Tear Off/Bin button.) This indicates

that your paper is at the current tear-off

position.

tear off the printed document using the

printer’s tear-off edge.

QWhen you resume printing, the printer

automatically feeds the paper backward

to the top-of-form position, and begins

printing.

QTo feed continuous paper backward

from the tear-off position into the

standby position, press the Load/Eject

button.

To remove the printed document from the push tractor, follow the steps below. To remove labels

or continuous paper from the pull tractor, see Chapter 2 of the User’s Guide.

Removing Continuous Paper With Labels

Make sure that the printer is not

printing. You may need to press the

Pause button to pause the printer.

(When the printer is paused, the Pause

light is on.)

Tear off the supply of continuous labels

at the perforation nearest the paper

entry slot.

Hold down the LF/FF button to eject the

remaining labels from the printer.

cCaution:

Never feed labels backward using the

Load/Eject or Tear Off/Bin button.

When fed backward, labels can easily come

off the backing sheet and cause a paper

jam.

To avoid peeling labels off the backing sheet and jamming the printer, follow the steps below when

you remove continuous paper with labels from the pull tractor.

cCaution:

When you load labels, be sure to use the tractor in the pull position and load the labels from the

front or bottom. Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear paper slot: the labels may

come off their backing sheet inside the printer and cause a paper jam.

Note:

See your User's Guide for details on using the pull tractor.

Removing the Printed Document From the Push Tractor

Removing Continuous Paper With Labels

Turn off the printer. The power switch

is located on the left side of the printer.

cCaution:

is on may damage the printer.

Unplug the printer from the electrical

outlet.

Open the paper guide cover. Then lift

the printer cover by its back edge and

pull it straight up and off.

Replacing the Ribbon Cartridge

Your printer uses an EPSON black ribbon cartridge #7753 or EPSON film ribbon cartridge #7768.

To replace the ribbon cartridge, follow the steps below.

Push up the tabs on each side of the

paper tension unit and lift the unit up

and off the printer. Store the paper

tension unit in a safe place. When the

pull tractor is installed, it is not

necessary to remove the paper tension

unit.

Make sure the print head is not hot; if

it is, let it cool for a few minutes before

touching it. Then slide the print head to

the middle of the printer by hand.
