Apple LQ manual DIP switch settings, Cut Sheet Feeder, Paper separator

DIP switch settings

In Chapter 2 of the the ImageWriter LQ Owner’s Guide, you’ll find instructions for changing the DIP switch settings on switch number SW2-8. The DIP switch has been set to the closed position.With the switch in this position, the printer advances pin-feed paper far enough so that you can easily tear off the last form. This switch setting also eliminates the possibility of printing on the previous page or on the platen, when using applications with no preset top margin.

Ignore the instructions for setting the switch if you want to tear off the last form of your pin-feed paper, or if your application does not have a preset top margin. If, on the other hand, you do not want the paper to advance past the top-of-form mark on the paper guide, use the instructions in the “Changing DIP Switch SW2-8” section of Chapter 2. Be sure to set the switch to Open.

Cut Sheet Feeder

The optional Cut Sheet Feeder for the ImageWriter LQ has been redesigned. The ImageWriter LQ Owner’s Guide provides instructions for setting up and installing the Cut Sheet Feeder on your printer. In these instructions, the manual refers to the forward collator as a separate piece that you need to install on the feeder. This step is no longer necessary. The forward collator is no longer a separate piece; it is now a molded part of the Cut Sheet Feeder itself.

Paper separator

Your ImageWriter LQ Owner’s Guide provides instructions for installing the paper separator and explains that the separator is necessary only if you use rear-feed paper paths.

The paper separator now comes installed. Accordingly, you can ignore the installation instructions. It has also been redesigned to stay in the printer at all times, regardless of the paper path you choose.
