Long time since I used an Oki. I assume you mean the paper is fanfolding in front of the tractor, when you say 'bunch up'. If you have the tractor on pull, the traction setting for the roller must be off. Paper not in the tractor, like 8.5 x 11, should slide easily under the impact roller. The typical problem is that the roller turns at a different speed than the tractor. This means only a minute difference in vertical spacing under normal circumstances, but if you engage both paper advance functions, you get the symptom you describe. If I remember, Oki is gear driven, like my Panasonics, when the gears fail it is much more catastrophic, things like uneven line spacing and overstrike.

The tractor feed is operating slowly causing the paper to bunch up. The OKIDATA home page has information on the printer and tractor but not any troubleshooting guides for this kind of problem. Is anyone familiar with this sort of setup and are there any solutions other then replacement?
