Paper Loading Or Feeding Problems - Epson LQ-590 Reference Manual

Paper loading or feeding problems

The printer does not load single-sheet paper or does not feed it
properly.
Cause
Continuous paper is in the
paper path.
The paper release lever is set to
a tractor position.
The paper on the paper guide
is positioned too far to the left
or right for the printer to detect
that it is there.
Single-sheet paper is not
loaded properly.
The paper-thickness lever is
not set correctly.
Paper is creased, old, too thin,
or too thick.
What to do
Press the Load/Eject button to feed the
continuous paper back to the standby
position. Set the paper release lever to
the single-sheet position and insert a
new sheet. (See "Switching to printing
on single sheets" on page 59 for more
information.)
Set the paper release lever to the
single-sheet position.
Move the paper (and the edge guides) a
little to the left or right.
See "Loading Single Sheets" on page 48
for instructions on loading single-sheet
paper.
Set the paper-thickness lever to match
the thickness of your paper. See
"Adjusting the Paper-Thickness Lever"
on page 12 for instructions.
See "Paper" on page 218 for information
on paper specifications and use new,
clean sheets of paper.
