Switching Between Continuous Paper And Single Sheets; Switching To Single Sheets - Epson Stylus 1500 Reference Manual

Switching Between Continuous Paper and Single
Sheets
When using the tractor feeder, you can easily switch between
single-sheet and continuous printing without removing either
type of paper.

Switching to Single Sheets

To switch from continuous paper to single sheets, follow these
steps:
1. If any printed sheets remain in the printer, tear off the printed
pages.
2. Press the Load/Eject button. The printer feeds the
continuous paper backward to the paper-park position.
Caution:
c
Always tear off paper before back-feeding; back-feeding too
many sheets can cause a paper jam.
Never back-feed labels. Labels can easily come off their
backing and jam the printer.
3. Move the paper-release lever to the single-sheet position.
Note:
If the Data and Paper Out lights flash, you may have moved
the paper-release lever before feeding the paper backward to the
paper-park position. Lower the paper-release lever to the
continuous-paper position and press the Load/Eject button;
then raise the paper-release lever to the single-sheet position.
4. Change the driver settings to match your paper source,
size, and type.
