Epson LQ 1050 User Manual - Page 48

Printing on Special Paper In addition to using single sheets and continuous paper, your printer can also print on a wide variety of paper types, including multi-part forms and labels. You can even feed envelopes manually or with the optional cut sheet feeder. Before printing on these special types of paper you need to adjust the paper thickness setting. Never use reverse feed with labels. The paper thickness lever To accommodate various thicknesses of paper, the LQ printer is equipped with a paper thickness lever that can be set to one of eight positions. These positions are identified by a scale on the printer frame next to the lever. For normal use, the lever should always be set to position 2 on the scale. Before changing the paper thickness setting, first make sure the power is off and then open the printer cover. If you've been using the printer just before opening the printer cover, be careful not to touch the print head because it may be hot. 2-16
