Using Continuous Paper; Reloading During Printing; Positioning Your Continuous Paper Supply - Epson LQ-2550 User Manual

Reloading during printing

When you print a document more than one page long using single sheet
paper, the printer stops printing when it reaches the bottom of the paper.
When this happens, either the ON LINE light goes off automatically or it
may remain on, depending on your application software. If the ON LINE
light remains on, the first thing you should do is press the ON LINE button
to take the printer off line.
Once the ON LINE light is off, remove the sheet that has just been printed
(if necessary, press the FORM FEED button to eject the page) and load a
new sheet. Press the ON LINE button to start printing the next page and
follow any additional prompts from your software.

Using Continuous Paper

The tractor built into the LQ-2550 is remarkably easy to load and
operate. Its low-profile design takes up little space and can handle paper
widths from 4 to 16 inches.

Positioning your continuous paper supply

An important consideration for achieving smooth and accurate paper
feeding is the position of your continuous paper supply.
Three ways to position your printer and continuous paper are shown
below.
