Using Continuous Paper
You can print on continuous paper from
101
mm (4 inches) to 254
mm
(10
inches) wide on the LQ-570 and from
101
mm
(4
inches) to
406
mm
(16
inches) wide on the
LQ-1070.
You can feed continuous paper from the rear, front, or bottom.
Your printer
comes
with the tractor installed in the push-tractor
position, for feeding paper from the rear. If this is your paper-
feeding method, skip to page 2-12. To feed paper from the front or
bottom, you must install the tractor in the pull-tractor position.
You
can
also install an optional pull tractor and use both the push
and pull tractors together.
Tractor position and available paper paths
Below are the various ways of feeding continuous paper. Always
move the paper-release lever to the position indicated for the paper-

Make sure you align your paper supply with the paper loaded in
the tractor so the paper feeds smoothly into the printer.
If you want to feed paper through the bottom paper slot, use a
printer stand that has a large enough opening for paper to feed
from the bottom without obstruction.
