Epson LQ-590II User Manual

Continuous multipart forms
Except for setting the paper-thickness lever, you load continuous multipart forms the same way as
ordinary continuous paper. See “Loading Continuous Paper” on page 21 for more information.
Note:
❏ Be sure your multipart forms do not exceed 0.49 mm (0.019 inch) in thickness.
❏ Do not load paper that is curled or has been folded.
❏ Thick paper, such as multipart forms with six or seven parts, requires a straight paper path to avoid
paper jams. Load thick paper in the front or bottom slots.
Single-sheet multipart forms
You can load single-sheet multipart forms from the front and rear position by using the sheet guide.
Note:
❏ Be sure your multipart forms do not exceed 0.46 mm (0.018 inch) in thickness.
❏ Do not load paper that is curled or has been folded.
Labels
When printing on labels, use only the type of labels that are mounted on continuous backing sheets
with sprocket holes for use with a tractor feeder. Do not try to print on single sheets with labels because
the printer may not feed labels on a shiny backing sheet properly.
Thick paper, such as continuous paper with labels, requires a straight or almost straight paper path.
Load labels only in the front (push tractor or pull tractor) or bottom (pull tractor) paper slot; however,
for best results, use the tractor in the pull position, and load paper in the front or bottom paper slot.
The loading procedure for continuous paper with labels is the same as that for ordinary continuous
paper, except that you must set the paper-thickness lever to 2 before printing. See “Loading paper with
the pull tractor” on page 33 for more information.
