Reloading during printing
When you print a document more than one page long using single sheet
paper, the printer stops printing when it reaches the bottom of the paper.
When this happens, either the
ON LINE
light goes off automatically or it
may remain on, depending on your application software. If
the ON LINE
light remains on, the first thing you should do is press the
ON LINE
button
to take
the
printer off line.
Once the
ON LINE
light is off, remove the sheet that has just been printed
(if necessary, press the
FORM FEED
button to eject the page) and load a
new sheet.
Press the
ON LINE
button to start printing the next page and
follow any additional prompts from your software.
Using Continuous Paper
The tractor built into the LQ-2550 is remarkably easy to load and
operate. Its low-profile design takes up little space and
can
handle paper
widths from
4
to
16
inches.
Positioning your continuous paper supply
An important consideration for achieving smooth and accurate paper
feeding is the position of your continuous paper supply.
Three ways to position your printer and continuous paper are shown
below.
