8. Hand feed the paper, bypassing the lower tractor pins, up through
the printer to the top tractors. After the printer is in operation, the
semiautomatic paper loading feature may be used.
Initially, load the paper so that it will print on the second form
(rather than first form) because a default setting pulls the paper
down into the printer a minimum of 4 inches (see "Setting Top of
Form"). Later, vertical positioning and top of form (TOF) alignment
will be completed after the printer is in operation.
9. Place the paper on the pins of the upper right tractor, making sure
that the paper is straight horizontally, and close the tractor cover.
10. If necessary, release the locking lever on the right-hand tractor by
flipping it down, and slide the tractor sideways to match the paper
width. With the right tractor-locking lever released, slide the tractor
slightly to the right to make the paper taut. Excessive tension will
tear the pinholes and cause the paper to misalign. Lock the tractor in
place by pressing up on the tractor-locking lever. Refer to Top View
illustration in Step 2, page 12, for location of the tractor locking lever
on the 5180 model.
11. Close the tractor cover.
