Chapter 3 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 chapter, 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. 29

Chapter 3
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.
