Figure 2-8. With the tractors in place, you’re ready to close the covers
and advance the paper.
7. Bring the paper up from the back, over the wire guide,
and into the back of the printer. When the holes in the
paper fit snugly over the nubby teeth in both sprockets,
close the tractor covers and snap the clamp levers back
into their locked positions (Figure 2-8).
8. Now we’ll feed the paper around the platen automatically.
To do this, close the rear cover, turn on the power, then
push the Pause button and hold down the LF button until
the paper moves smoothly into position.
9. Close the bail lever (push away from you). The top edge
of the paper should line up with the cutter edge of the
front cover so that printing will start one inch from the
top edge.
