Abstract
Printers and copiers have paper handling mechanisms that incorporate form feeding tractors to move a continuous form or web having edge holes. It has been discovered that the web can be driven at a high acceleration yet uses a small number of pins by setting the pin pitch of the tractor greater than the pitch of the edge holes.
