Printing On Single Sheets; Loading Single Sheets - Epson LQ-300 User Manual

Printing on Single Sheets

You can use the paper guide to print on single sheets with a
width of 182 mm (7.2 inches) to 257 mm (10.1 inches).
Note:
You can install an optional cut-sheet feeder to load up to 50 sheets
automatically. See page 2-29 for details.

Loading single sheets

You load single sheets as shown in " Running the Self Test" in
Chapter 1. For normal use, turn on the printer without pressing
any other buttons. The Pause light flashes briefly, and the
printer loads the sheet automatically. When the printer receives
data, it begins to print.
Caution:
c
Use the knob on the right side of the printer only to clear paper
jams and only when the printer is off. Otherwise, you may
damage the printer or change the top-of-form position.
Adjusting the loading position
If you want to adjust the position where printing begins on the
page, follow these steps (these instructions also work when
you use the pull or push tractor):
1. With paper loaded, hold down the Pause button until the
printer beeps once and the Font lights begin to flash.
2. Press the LF/FF button to feed the paper forward, or press
the Font button to feed the paper backward. (Press either
button as many times as necessary until you reach the
desired position.)
3. To complete the adjustment, press the Pause button or send
data from your computer.
