<It is an Epson LQ-500. It has a removable set of tractors, which
<mounts on top. However, they mount on the output end. This means that
<there must be paper in the tractors that is beyond the print head,
<which means that about a sheet of paper must be wasted. Could someone

Serious answer... pulling is more reliable then pushing.

Also if that thins is like my LQ5000 and the LQ570 it can be set up in
push mode.
