There was no reason to sell a dot matrix printer that wasn't compatible with tractor feed. Especially when some of the biggest uses of those printers required that stock. Doesn't mean they required tractor feed paper to operate.

A Matrix printer is essentially a typewriter with extra steps and typewriters had been eating any paper for .. a century before?
