Epson LQ-860 - Impact Printer, User Manual

Page: 73 / 325

WARNING:
Always return the lever to position 2 when
you go back to printing on ordinary paper. Continuous
printing with the lever set at a position higher than 2 can
shorten the life of the print head.
Printing past the edge of envelopes, multi-part forms, labels,
or thicker-than-normal paper can damage the print head.
Multi-part Forms
With the built-in tractor unit, your printer can print on continuous
multi-part forms. You can use multi-part forms that have up to four
parts including the original. Make sure you set the paper thickness
lever to the proper position.
Except for the paper thickness lever setting, you load multi-part
paper the same way as continuous paper. For details, see Loading
Continuous Paper in this chapter. Also see Adjusting the Loading
Position and Page Length in Chapter 3.
When you set the paper thickness lever to position 4 or above, the
MULTI-PART light comes on and the printer reduces its printing speed.
CAUTION:
Do not use multi-part forms with the single-
sheet feeding system or the optional cut sheet feeder.
