2.2.4.2 Tractor Mechanism
Torque sent from the motor to the roller is transmitted to the tractor gear via disengage mechanism
operated with the release lever. When the release lever is set to the tractor side, the release sensor
detects the condition and torque transmission to the ASF mechanism is cut off as a result.
2.2.4.3 Manual Feed Mechanism
The printer loads cut sheet and roll paper in the rear paper slot. When the rear sensor detects the
paper, the unit leaves the ASF paper feed position. Therefore the paper is manually loaded even if
paper is set in ASF. This mode allows use of types of paper that differs from the one set in ASF.
