The Bottom Feed Tractor Unit

This separate unit makes it easy and convenient for you to use continuous forms paper fed from the

bottom of the printer.

To install the bottom feed unit:

1. Place the unit where you plan to put the printer. The opening in the unit should face the same

direction as the front of the printer.

2. Pick up the printer and put it on top of the bottom feed unit as shown. Be sure the printer is firmly

seated on the unit.

3. Plug the cable on the unit into the round socket above the parallel interface connector on the

back of the printer. The arrow on the plug faces up.

Caution

Do not attempt to pick up the printer and bottom feed unit together. Disconnect the printer from

the bottom feed unit

and move them separately.

Choosing Parallel or Serial

Your Pacemark 3410 has both a parallel and a serial port. All you have to do is decide which one

you want to use. You can only use one of them at a time.

When you take the printer out of the box, there will be a metal plate over the serial port. If you want

to use the parallel port, just plug in your cable and fasten the clips to it.

If you want to use the serial interface, loosen the metal plate with a Phillips screwdriver and slide it

to the right to uncover the serial port. Plug your cable into the serial port and tighten the screws.

You can fasten the metal plate over the parallel port to eliminate confusion in the future.

You can fasten the metal plate over the parallel port to eliminate confusion in the future. If you use the

serial port, you may have to enter the Menu Select mode and adjust the menu settings. See Chapter 3 (

) for an explanation of the Menu Select mode.

forms, you want to have a larger head gap than when you use plain paper. Use the recommended head

gap to ensure the best print quality and easy paper feeding.

printer. Use the following chart to determine the proper head gap for your needs.
