1.When you have finished printing on continuous paper, press the Tear Off/Bin button (LQ-680) or the Tear Off/Special Paper button (LQ-680Pro) to advance the paper to the tear-off position. (If you selected auto tear-off in the printer’s default-setting mode or the EPSON Remote! utility, the printer advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position automatically.)

2.Tear off the printed pages.

cCaution:

Always tear off paper before feeding it backwards; feeding too many sheets backwards can cause a paper jam.

3.Press the Load/Eject button to feed the continuous paper back to the standby position. The paper is still attached to the tractor, but no longer in the paper path.

4.Select single-sheet feeding with the paper release lever (LQ-680) or with the Paper Source button (LQ-680Pro) as described in “Paper source and paper types” on page 2-3.

Now you can load single sheets from the paper guide. For instructions, see “Using Single Sheets” on page 2-20.
