Printing On Continuous Paper - Epson Stylus 1500 Reference Manual

Printing on Continuous Paper

The built-in tractor feeder lets you print on continuous paper
from 4 inches (102 mm) to 16 inches (406 mm) wide. You can
use the tractor feeder without removing paper from the sheet
feeder.
When printing on continuous paper, keep the following in
mind:
When you turn on the printer with paper loaded on the
tractor feeder, it reverses the paper to the paper-park
position and then advances it to the next page. To keep the
loading position accurate, remove any printed sheets
before you turn off the printer.
If the printer runs out of paper during a print job, load
paper onto the push tractor and press the Pause button to
continue printing.
If printing appears too high or low on the page, you can
use micro adjust mode to adjust the loading position or
tear-off position. See "Adjusting the Loading Position" or
"Adjusting the Tear-Off Position" later in this chapter. The
settings you make remain in effect until you change them
again, even if you turn off the printer.
Caution:
c
Do not use the knob on the left side of the printer to adjust
the loading position; this may damage the printer or cause
it to lose the top-of-form position.
If the paper is released from the sprocket pins, never feed
paper backward; this may cause a paper jam. Reload the
paper by following the instructions in the next section.
