# Setting the Paper Release Lever

You can load paper in the printer from various paper sources, such as the front push tractor or the paper guide. You set the paper release lever to indicate the paper source you want to use. The table below describes each paper release lever position.
Note:

To decide which paper source and paper path best suits your printing needs, see Available Paper Paths.

Paper release lever position | Description
| Single-sheet position For loading single-sheet paper from the top or front slot. For information on loading single sheets, see Loading Single Sheets in the Top Paper Slot.
| Rear push tractor position For loading continuous paper from the tractor installed in the rear push position. Also set the lever to this position when using the rear push and pull tractors in combination.
| Front push tractor position For loading continuous paper from the tractor installed in the front push position. Also set the lever to this position when using the front push and pull tractors in combination.
| Pull tractor position For loading continuous paper from the tractor installed on top of the printer in the pull position. When the tractor is in the pull position, you can load paper in the front, rear, or bottom slot.

You can load two different types of continuous paper onto the front and rear push tractors, and easily switch between them using the paper release lever. Before moving the paper release lever, always press the Load/Eject button to feed the paper in the paper path backward to the standby position.
