Epson LQ-2170 Printer User Manual


 
Multipart forms
Your printer can print on both single-sheet and continuous
multipart forms. You can load single-sheet multipart forms in both
the front and top paper slots. You can load continuous multipart
forms from the front, rear, and bottom.
Note:
Use only carbonless multipart forms.
You can use multipart forms of up to five parts, including the
original. Make sure you set the paper thickness lever to the proper
position.
You load multipart forms the same way as single sheets or
continuous paper. For best results with continuous multipart
forms, you should use the tractor installed in the pull tractor
position and load paper from either the front or rear tractor. When
you load paper from the front, you must use the optional pull
tractor because the rear push tractor cannot be removed.
For details, see “Using Single Sheets” or “Loading Continuous
Paper,” earlier in this chapter. Also be sure to set the loading
position as described in “Micro Adjust” in Chapter 3.

Caution:
When printing multipart forms, make sure the printing
stays entirely within the printable area of the forms. (For
more information on the printable area, see the Appendix.)
Use multipart forms only under normal operating
conditions.
When loading single-sheet multipart forms that are bound
at the top by line gluing, always use the top paper path. (If
you plan to print on forms that are joined at either the top
or side by line gluing, use the front paper path.)
Load multipart forms that are free of wrinkles and waves.
