Epson LQ-860 User Manual - Page 73

WARNING: Always return the lever to position 2 when you go back to printing on ordinary paper. Continuous printing with the lever set at a position higher than 2 can shorten the life of the print head. Printing past the edge of envelopes, multi-part forms, labels, or thicker-than-normal paper can damage the print head. Multi-part Forms With the built-in tractor unit, your printer can print on continuous multi-part forms. You can use multi-part forms that have up to four parts including the original. Make sure you set the paper thickness lever to the proper position. Except for the paper thickness lever setting, you load multi-part paper the same way as continuous paper. For details, see Loading Continuous Paper in this chapter. Also see Adjusting the Loading Position and Page Length in Chapter 3. When you set the paper thickness lever to position 4 or above, the MULTI-PART light comes on and the printer reduces its printing speed. CAUTION: Do not use multi-part forms with the singlesheet feeding system or the optional cut sheet feeder. Paper Handling 2-27
