Printing on Special Paper

In addition to printing on single sheets and continuous paper, your printer can also print on a wide variety of paper types, including multi-part forms, labels, and envelopes.

Before printing on special types of paper, you need to change the paper thickness setting.

WARNING: When printing on multi-part forms, labels, or envelopes, make sure that your application program settings keep the printing entirely within the printable area.

For multi-part forms and labels you should not print any closer than one-half inch from either side of the paper.

For information on the printable area for envelopes, see page 2-31.The Paper Thickness Lever

To accommodate various thicknesses of paper, the LQ-1010 is equipped with a paper thickness lever that can be set to eight positions. These positions are identified by a scale on the printer next to the lever. (See the chart on page 2-26.)
