Changing Tractor Positions - Epson 1170 User Manual

Note:
Make sure you align your paper supply with the paper
loaded in the tractor so that the paper can feed smoothly into
the printer.
If you want to feed paper through the bottom paper slot, use a
printer stand that has a large enough opening for paper to feed
from the bottom without obstruction.
Using the paper-path guide
You can lift the paper-path guide on the printer cover to change
the direction that continuous paper is ejected, as shown below.
Forward ejection

Changing tractor positions

Before installing the tractor in a different position, remove it from
its current position by pressing the lock tabs while you lift it out.
Installing in the front push-tractor position
1. Make sure the printer is turned off. Open the front cover and

pulling it straight out of the printer.
