About This Guide

This User’s Guide provides step-by-step instructions on setting and operating the LQ-850, LQ-950, and LQ-1050 printers.

Finding your way around

Chapter 1 contains information on unpacking, setting up, and testing the printer, so be sure to read and follow the instructions in this chapter first. Inside the back flap of the guide are illustrations of the printer with all of the major parts identified.

Chapters 2 and 3 include important information on paper handling and general printer operation. This information is necessary for the day-to-day operation of your printer.

Chapter 4 contains information designed to help you get the most from your printer. This section includes advice on the use of applications software, graphics, and user-defined characters.

Other chapters include information on troubleshooting, printer options, and general maintenance. You will also find a glossary of printer terms and an index.

At the back of the manual is a Quick Reference Card with the information you are most likely to need.

The LQ-850, LQ-950, and LQ-1050 are basically the same printer except for their widths. Therefore, the illustrations in this guide show only the LQ-1050.
