Loading Paper in Basic

Release the lock on the right-hand tractor and adjust it according to the paper width.
Adjust the left tractor to the right to emboss the first Braille character closer to the edge of the
paper.
Load paper and close the tractors.
Pull the tractors outwards to put the paper under a slight tension and lock the tractors.
The Basic-D paper loading process is complete. The Basic-D automatically senses the paper
edge once printing has begun.
