The ImageWriter can be set to accept regular paper or track paper. If set to accept regular paper, you can only load one page at a time. In order to use track paper, the Release Lever must be set to the Pin Feed Position. If using heavier paper, it may be necessary to adjust the Paper Thickness Lever.
