LA34 Questions

I recently came into a DEC LA34-AA, a.k.a., Decwriter IV (Thanks
Phil!), and have some questions.

I think I finally figured out how to load paper into the tractorfeed,
and the machine looks intact and in pretty good shape for a nearly 25
year old printer. The problem is that on powering on I get beeping
and the Power/Fault LEd blinks. The manual suggests that this is an
out of paper problem. Suggestions?

I have managed to dismantle the big parts of the printer, and I don't
see any obviously dirty switches or sensors.


Thanks,
