SUBJECT: LQ-850/950/1050 PRINTER QUESTIONS

Q:How do I get the short tear off feature to work?

A:The first step is to turn the dip switch 2-7 to the "ON" position. Then there are two ways to activate the short tear off. The first way is to send a form feed at the end of each page. The second way is to send 66 lines of data to the printer. In both instances data transmission must stop for a minimum of 3 seconds before the feature is acti- vated.

Q:When printing on single sheets, each page drops down several lines. Why?

A:The number of printable lines on single sheets are 61 or 62. Change the number of lines/page in your software package.
