ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for feeding both cut sheet paper and fan fold paper in a printer adapted to process both fan fold paper and cut sheet paper has a platen supported within the printer. A paper pressing member comes in contact with the platen to slidably retain the paper therebetween. A push tractor upstream of the platen feeds fan fold paper towards the platen. A control circuit controls the push tractor to feed fan fold paper in a backward direction once the printer has received an indication that cut sheet paper is to be processed. The tractor feeds the fan fold paper in a forward direction towards the platen upon completion of the feeding of cut sheet paper. The control circuit causes the push tractor to feed the paper in a reciprocating manner prior to returning the paper to an original print position at which fan fold printing may be resumed.
