The LEVER, RELEASE switches between friction feed and tractor feed. Setting the LEVER, RELEASE to
the friction feed position presses the paper advance roller against the PLATEN. Setting the release lever
to the tractor feed position releases this pressure, so that the paper advance roller separates from the
PLATEN. The DETECTOR
ASSY., RELEASE senses the current position of the LEVER, RELEASE.

2.1.3.2 Paper Insertion Entrances
This section describes the different ways to feed paper into the printer.
Top entrance paper insertion
When you feed paper into the printer through the top entrance, the method to advance the paper is
friction feed.
There are two paper-out detectors: the front paper-out detector is in front of the PRINTER MECHANISM
and the rear paper-out detector is behind the PRINTER MECHANISM. When paper is inserted through
the top entrance, the rear detector senses when the paper runs out.
