Switching To Printing On Single Sheets - Epson FX-880 User Manual

Switching to Printing on Single Sheets

When using the tractor in the front or rear push position, you
can easily switch to single-sheet printing without removing the
continuous paper from the tractor.
Note:
If continuous labels are loaded in the printer, you need to remove
them before switching to single sheets. See "Removing
continuous paper with labels" on page 3-5.
If the tractor is in the pull position, you need to remove any
continuous paper from the printer before switching to single-sheet
printing. See "Removing paper from the pull tractor" on page 3-26.
To switch from printing on continuous paper from a push
tractor to printing on single sheets, follow the steps below.
1. If any printed sheets remain in the printer, press the Tear
Off/Bin button to advance the paper to the tear-off position.
Then tear off the printed pages.
c
Caution:
Make sure you tear off your printed document before
pressing the Load/Eject button in the next step. Reverse
feeding several pages at a time may cause a paper jam.
2. Press the Load/Eject button to feed the continuous paper
backward out of the printer and into the standby position. The
paper is still attached to the tractor but is no longer in the
paper path.
3. Lower the continuous paper support on the paper guide until
it clicks into place, then move the paper guide to the upright
position.
