Printing On Special Paper; The Paper Thickness Lever - Epson LQ-1050 User Manual

Printing on Special Paper

In addition to printing on single sheets and continuous paper, your
printer can also print on a wide variety of paper types, including
multi-part forms, labels,, and envelopes.
If you are printing preprinted or multi-part forms or labels, it is
recommended that you use the optional pull tractor. See The Pull
Tractor in Chapter 5.
Before printing on special types of paper, you need to change the
paper thickness setting.
WARNING: When printing on multi-part forms, labels, or
envelopes, make sure that your application program
settings keep the printing entirely within the printable
area.
For multi-part forms and labels you should not print any
closer than one-half inch (38 mm) from either side of the
paper.
For information on the printable area for envelopes, see
Envelopes later in this chapter.

The Paper Thickness Lever

To accommodate various thicknesses of paper, the printer is
equipped with a paper thickness lever that can be set to eight
positions. These positions are identified by a scale on the printer
next to the lever.
