Printer Tractor

Printer tractors are mechanical devices used in dot matrix printers. They are part of the supply class Information Technology Input/Output And Storage Devices in the supply group Information Technology Equipment (Including Firmware), Software, Supplies And Support Equipment.

Printer tractors are responsible for feeding continuous paper through the printer. They consist of two sets of rotating wheels or pins that grip the perforated edges of the paper and pull it through the printer. This ensures that the paper is properly aligned and prevents it from getting jammed or misaligned during the printing process.

Printer tractors are commonly used in environments where large volumes of continuous paper need to be printed, such as in businesses that require invoices, receipts, or other forms to be printed in a continuous stream. They are especially useful for printing multipart forms or documents with multiple copies.

Overall, printer tractors play a crucial role in ensuring smooth and accurate printing on continuous paper in dot matrix printers.
