You install the forms tractor for thispath, and also use it in this location for the Dual Push and the Push Pull formspaths.It is important that you verify that the Front Push forms path correctly feeds forms,and that the printer prints with good print quality before setting up any other formspath. Setting up this forms path first familiarizes you with setting and installing aforms tractor, correctly loading, stacking, and tearing forms, and installing a ribbon.After this verification, you maintain the printer with this forms path, or you mayconfigure the printer for any one of four other forms paths. IBM recommends youuse the Front Push forms path. See “Chapter 2. Considering Other Forms Paths” onpage 33 to select a different forms path, and “Preparing Printer for Selected FormsPath” on page 44 set up a different forms path.Chapter 1. Printer Setup 13
