Clear enough space around the printer so that the paper has an unobstructed path in and out of the printer. There are three common methods of arranging a printer and continuous-feed paper:

•Using a printer stand with the paper stacked underneath it.

•Using a desk or table as a stand, with the printer near the rear edge and the paper on the floor or on a shelf.

•Putting the printer on a desk or table and stacking the paper behind the printer.

Now follow these steps to load continuous-feed paper in your LQ-2500.

1.Install the paper rest by fitting its hooks into the notches at the back of the printer, as shown in Figure 3-1. This prevents incoming paper from catching on the cable.

2.Release the sprocket units by pushing the locking levers back, as shown in Figure 3-2.

3.Remove the dust cover and move the print head to about 40 on the ruler on the paper bail.

4.Pull the paper bail and paper release levers forward.
