Operating The Cut Sheet Feeder - Epson LQ-860 User Manual

Operating the Cut Sheet Feeder

After stacking paper in the cut sheet feeder, turn on the printer and
make sure that the ON LINE light is on. When the printer is on line, a
new sheet of paper loads automatically whenever a printable
character or line feed command is sent to the printer.
Paper out condition
When the printer is on line and receives print data from the
computer, the first sheet loads automatically. Subsequent sheets
load automatically as necessary.
In the cut sheet feeder mode, the PAPER OUT light goes on while
l
a sheet of paper is being loaded, but the printer remains on line.
When the specified paper bin is empty, the printer automatically
l
goes off line and the PAPER OUT light goes on. To resume
printing, add more paper and press the ON LINE button.
Note: If you turn off your printer during the time the printer
detects a paper out or paper jam condition, any data remaining in
the printer's buffer is discarded.
Control panel operation
To operate the cut sheet feeder from the control panel when the
printer is in the cut sheet feeder mode, first make sure that the
printer is off line.
