Available Paper Paths
Your printer provides a variety of paper paths for single sheets and continuous paper. This section describes how paper feeds into the printer from the top, front, bottom, or rear. You can select the paper path that best suits your printing needs.
Status Monitor | Printing on Continuous Paper |
The EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility comes with your printer but is available only for use with Windows 95 or 98. It allows you to monitor your printer’s status, alerts you when printer errors occur, and provides troubleshooting instructions.
You can choose from three tractor positions (front push, rear push, and pull) and three paper entry slots (front, rear, and bottom) for printing on continuous paper. This section helps you determine which paper paths and tractor positions are best for your continuous paper printing needs.
