Printing On Special Paper; Setting The Paper-Thickness Lever - Epson FX-870 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, such as
envelopes, labels, and multi-part forms. Before printing on special
types of paper, you may need to change the paper-thickness setting.
CAUTION: When printing on labels or multi-part forms,
make sure that your printing stays within the printable
l
area of the page to prevent damage to the print head. For
more information on the printable area, see Chapter 7.
Always return the paper-thickness lever to position 0
when you return to printing on ordinary paper.

Setting the paper-thickness lever

To accommodate various thicknesses of paper, the printer is
equipped with a paper-thickness lever you can set to seven
positions. These positions are identified by the scale next to the
lever.
