Paper Handling

# Switching Between Continuous Paper and Single Sheets

> Switching to single sheets
> Switching to continuous paper

You can easily switch between continuous paper and single sheets without removing the continuous paper from the tractor.

## Switching to single sheets

Follow these steps to switch from continuous paper to single sheets:

| When the Auto tear-off function is turned on, the printer advances the paper to the tear-off position automatically.

| Tear off the printed pages.

|  | Caution:

Always tear off paper before feeding it backwards; feeding too many sheets backwards can cause a paper jam.

Never feed labels backward using the Load/Eject button. Labels can easily peel off their backing and jam the printer. For information on removing labels from the paper path, see To tear off and eject labels.

| Press the Load/Eject button to feed the continuous paper back to the standby position. The paper is still attached to the tractor, but is no longer in the paper path.

| Set the paper release lever to the single-sheet feeding position.

Now you can load single sheets from the paper guide. See Loading Single Sheets for more information.

## Switching to continuous paper

Follow these steps to switch from single sheets to continuous paper:

| If necessary, press the Load/Eject button to eject the last printed single sheet.

| Make sure continuous paper is loaded in the printer as described in Loading continuous paper with the tractor.

| Set the paper release lever to the tractor feeding position.

The printer automatically advances the continuous paper from the standby position to the loading position when it receives data.
