Summary:
When parking the paper, the paper moves forward instead of reversing into the tractors.

Resolution:


The printer is in Label Mode.

SOLUTION: Tear off the paper at the tractor and eject it, or turn off Label Mode.

CAUTION: Turning off Label Mode allows reverse paper movement.  During 
reverse feeding, labels may peel off onto the lower paper clamp.

NOTES:

 - Label Mode is located in the Operational Menu under Special Modes.

 - When Label Mode is active, the printer will not perform a reverse paper 
   movement including parking.

 - The printer will backup on barcodes and oversize when in Label Mode.
