Switching between the cut sheet feeder and continuous paper
The LQ-2550 allows you to easily switch between the cut sheet feeder
and the tractor feeding system without having to remove either the
feeder or the continuous paper supply.
To switch between these two paper feeding systems, be sure that:
l
Continuous paper is loaded in the standby position.
l
The cut sheet feeder is installed.
l
The printer is off line.
Note: If you wish
to
use the short tear-off feature, you can tear off the
perforation of the continuous paper at the cut sheet feeder’s tear-off
edge. See Chapter 3 for more information on the short tear-off feature.
1.
To switch from cut sheet feeder operation to continuous paper, press
the PAPER SELECT
button until the
TRACTOR
light goes on.
Continuous paper is now fed to its loading position, and the front
section of the cut sheet feeder is automatically tilted forward.
