Caution
Never use the manual paper feed knob while the power is ON
because you can damage the paper feed motor. Always use
the
LINE FEED
or
FORM FEED
button. You will also find that
the paper feed knob turns easily when the power is
OFF,
but is
difficult to turn while the power is
ON.
When loading single-sheet paper, you may find that the LQ finishes
pages at different places than your word processor or applications
program does.
To ensure that your word processor and the LQ finish pages at the
same point:
1. Print out a page on the LQ. Check that the LQ and your word
processor have the same page length. If they differ, note how many
lines they differ by. For example, if your word processor is set up to
print 55 lines, but the LQ only prints 53 lines before ejecting the
page, there is a difference of two lines.
2. You now have three choices:
a) Compensate for the two-line difference when rolling the paper
into the printer.
b) Use the installation procedure on your word processor to
change the default page length.
c) Use commands in your word processing program to alter the
page or margin lengths in each file to accommodate the LQ’s
page length.
3.
Once you’ve established the best settings, always load the paper so
that your printer starts at the same place on each page. For exam-
ple, you may find that when you roll the paper one inch above the
print head, the page finishes where you want it to-then each time
you load paper, load it the same way.
With single-sheet paper, the key to consistent page formatting is to
establish the settings that work best for you, then position the paper in
the
same place every time.
