Clear enough space around the printer so that the paper has an
unobstructed path in and out of the printer. There are three common
methods of arranging a printer and continuous-feed paper:
l
Using a printer stand with the paper stacked underneath it.
l
Using a desk or table as a stand, with the printer near the rear edge
and the paper on the floor or on a shelf.
l
Putting the printer on a desk or table and stacking the paper behind
the printer.
Now follow these steps to load continuous-feed paper in your
LQ-2500.
1. Install the paper rest by fitting its hooks into the notches at the back
of the printer, as shown in Figure 3-1. This prevents incoming paper
from catching on the cable.
2. Release the sprocket units by pushing the locking levers back, as
shown in Figure 3-2.
3. Remove the dust cover and move the print head to about 40 on the
ruler on the paper bail.
4. Pull the paper bail and paper release levers forward.
