Using Single Sheets - Epson LQ-680 User Manual

Caution:

Using Single Sheets

You can load one sheet of paper at a time into the paper guide at
the front of the printer, or you can load a stack of paper in the
optional cut-sheet feeder. (See Appendix A for more information
on the optional cut-sheet feeder.)
Note:
See Appendix C for detailed single-sheet paper specifications.
If you load long paper (for example, legal size paper), leave enough
space at the back of the printer so that the paper is not obstructed.

Paper Handling
When printing on labels, make sure that your software
settings keep the printing entirely within the printable area.
Printing on the edge of a label can damage the print head.
For information about the printable area, see the paper
specifications in Appendix C.
Never feed labels backward with the Load/Eject, Tear
Off/Bin (LQ-680), or Tear Off/Special Paper (LQ-
680Pro) buttons. Labels can easily peel off their backing and
jam the printer.
To remove labels from the paper path after you finish
printing, first tear off the labels at a point before the paper
slot. Then use the LF/FF button to advance the remaining
labels out of the printer.
Because labels are especially sensitive to temperature and
humidity, use them only under normal operating conditions.
Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between print jobs;
they tend to curl and may come off their backing and jam the
printer when you resume printing.
