Epson LQ-300+ manual Printing on Continuous Paper, Printing with the push tractor

Printing on Continuous Paper

Your printer can handle continuous paper from 101.6 mm (4.0 inches) to 254.0 mm (10.0 inches) wide. Depending on where you position the tractor, you can use it as a pull tractor or a push tractor. The following guidelines can help you decide where to position the tractor:

❏Do you want to switch between printing on single sheets and continuous paper without removing the paper supply? Will you tear off continuous paper sheet-by-sheet? Use the tractor in the push tractor position. (The printer comes with the tractor installed in this position.) See the following section.

❏Are you printing on labels, multipart forms, or other documents that require a precise print position? Use the tractor as a pull tractor. See “Printing with the pull tractor” on page 31 for instructions.

Printing with the push tractor

When using the push tractor, it is a good idea to set the Auto tear off feature in the Default Setting mode to On. See “About Your Printer’s Default Settings” on page 16.
