Selecting a Paper Feeding Method

The paper release lever on the LQ-1010 has three positions for use with the various methods of paper feeding. Make sure the paper release lever is set to match the desired paper feeding method.

The lever positions are marked by three icons, as described below.

Single-sheet mode: When you load single sheets from either the paper guide or from the optional cut sheet feeder, the lever should be set all the way back to the single-sheet position.

Push tractor mode: When you load continuous paper with the built-in push tractor, the lever should be set in the middle, which is the push tractor position.

Pull tractor mode: When you load continuous paper with the optional pull tractor, the lever should be set all the way forward to the pull tractor position. Even when you use the built-in push tractor with the pull tractor, you must set the lever to this position. Select this position only if you are using the optional pull tractor.
