Loading Fanfold Paper (Rear Feed)
1. Place a stack of fanfold paper behind and at least one page-length below the printer.
2. Turn the printer's power OFF.
3. Push the release lever to the upward position. This has the effect of releasing the paper from the platen roller, and engaging the tractor feed.
4. Remove the paper guide and put it aside for the moment.
5. Remove the read cover. Grip it by its read edge and lift upwards and backwards.
6. With the sprocket covers open, thread the paper over the sprockets, aligning holes with the pins on the sprockets.
7. Adjust the spacing of the sprockets by sliding them along the bar, using the clamp lever at the back of each sprocket to release and lock the sprocket in position (when the lever is down, the sprocket may be moved, and when it is up, the sprocket is locked).
8. Now close the sprocket covers, again making sure that the paper sprocket holes are aligned with the pins on the sprockets. If they are not aligned properly, you will have problems with paper feeding, possibly resulting in tearing and jamming of the paper.
9. Turn on the printer using the switch at the front of the printer. The printer will beep (indicating that the paper is not yet fully loaded). This is also confirmed by the orange POWER indicator flashing.
10. Now press the [SET/EJECT/PARK] button. The paper bail will move clear of the paper, and the paper will be fed and adjusted past the print head to a position ready for printing. The paper bail will be moved back to grip the paper against the platen, and the print head will move to the start position.
11. Remount the rear cover. Hold it tilted upward and insert the four tabs at the front into their slots. Then rotated the cover downwards, pressing down on the thumb pads on the left and right to snap it into place.
12. Mount the paper guide in the horizontal position, so that it will separate the printed from the unprinted paper.
Loading Fanfold Paper (Bottom Feed, requires option Pull Tractor unit)
1. Remove the top cover, then move the bail lever on top of the printer forward to open the paper bail.
2. Mount the optional pull tractor unit onto the printer. Grip the lock levers on both sides and push the unit downwards onto the platen roller shaft to fit the tractor grips.
3. Place a stack of fanfold paper below the printer.
4. With the sprocket covers open, thread the paper over the sprockets from the bottom of the printer, aligning holes with the pins on the sprockets.
5. Adjust the spacing of the sprockets by sliding them along the bar, using the clamp lever at the back of each sprocket to release and lock the sprocket in position (when the lever is up, the sprocket may be moved, and when it is down , the sprocket is locked).
6. Now close the sprocket covers, again making sure that the paper sprocket holes are aligned with the pins on the sprockets. If they are not aligned properly, you will have problems with paper feeding, possibly resulting in tearing and jamming of the paper.
7. Mount the new top cover.

Location of DIP Switches
When you remove the
printer's cover and look inside, you will see on the green board
at the bottom of the printer two groups of small white switches
marked DSW1 and DSW2. These are the printer's DIP switches. DSW1
has eight switches, names 1-1 to 1-8 from left to right. DSW2 has
eight switches named 2-1 to 2-8.
For all switches, the ON position is towards the back of the printer and the OFF position is towards the front. To set a DIP switch, use a ball-point pen or other small implement to move the switch to the ON or OFF position.
The printer's power should be off when you set the DIP switches. Settings made while power is on do not take effect until power is switched off, then on again, because the printer reads the DIP switches only at power-up.
