Paper feeding
The LINE FEED and FORM FEED buttons on the panel control paper
feeding. The printer must be off line, as indicated in the On line/off line
section. When the power is on, you must use these buttons to feed the
paper. Using the paper feed knob with the power on can damage the
printer mechanism.
Print quality/font selection
When the printer is on line, the DRAFT and LQ buttons can be used
to select between the two types of print quality: draft and Letter Quality
With SelecType you can set the LQ-2500 to print in either draft or Letter
Quality when you turn the printer on (see Chapter 2).
Whether you choose draft or Letter Quality however, you can still
select the other quality setting with the panel buttons; you don’t have to
go back into SelecType.
If the printer is set for Letter Quality pressing the DRAFT button
displays [DRAFT] and selects draft printing.
If the printer is set for draft or Letter Quality pressing the LO button
displays the name of the current Letter Quality font, such as [ROMAN],
and selects Letter Quality printing in the displayed font. You can also
select among the other Letter Quality fonts by pressing the LO button
while the current font
is displayed. See Chapter 5, Selecting fonts with
the LQ button, for more information.
When switching between draft and Letter Quality and the five LQ
fonts, you may need to change the SelecType Pitch setting. See
Chapter 5, Print Pitch and Character Width, for more information.
