Chapter 3

Choosing and Loading Paper

The LQ-2500 printer can accommodate many different sizes and types of paper, using either its automatic single-sheet loading feature or its built-in adjustable tractor.

The tractor is easy to use and can handle a wide range of paper widths. The automatic single-sheet loading feature handles individual sheets quickly and easily and for greater efficiency you can add an optional automatic sheet feeder.

Choosing PaperWithout installing any accessories, you can use single-sheet paper

from 71/4 to 14% inches wide, and continuous-feed paper from 4 to 16 inches wide (including the perforated edge strips).

Carbon copies

If you use multi-part forms or carbon copies in the LQ, use no more than four sheets or parts at a time, with a total thickness of no more than 0.22 mm. . Also so change the paper thickness setting as described at the end of this chapter.

Loading Single Sheets

You have already loaded single-sheet paper using the automatic sheet loading feature in Step 7 of the setup chapter. This feature gives you short printing times by combining fast loading with fast printing.

If you print large amounts on single sheets of paper, however, you may find it more convenient to use an automatic sheet feeder. This is an optional device that holds a stack of paper and inserts a new sheet
