Installing Paper and Paper Feeders

Now that you are more familiar with your LQ-1500, you're ready
to install and load the paper feeders. Since you're into the third chap-
ter, you're probably getting anxious to print something by now. First,
you need some facts on the different types of paper and paper feeders
the LQ-1500 uses.

Types of Paper and Paper Feeders

You can use a great variety of paper types with the LQ-1500 which
makes your printing both flexible and convenient. Paper thickness can
range from 0.07 mm to 0.20 mm for both types of paper feeders.

Single-sheet paper and sheet guide

First, you can use single-sheet paper including all the standard sizes
of stationery and preprinted business forms. Single-sheet paper may
vary in width from 7.2 to 14.3 inches. The sheet guide unit is used to
feed single-sheet paper into the LQ-1500. As you may recall, Chapter
1 gave you the details for installing the sheet guide unit.

Pin-feed paper and tractor unit

Second, you can use pin-feed paper (also called continuous-feed
paper). This includes the familiar fan-fold paper with pin-holes on
either side, pin-feed labels, and other types of continuous forms. The
LQ-1500 will handle pin-feed paper from 4 to 16 inches wide. Pin-feed
paper is used with an optional tractor unit which pulls the paper
through the printer by the pin holes.
