Epson LQ-2500 Printer User Manual


 
The Paper Thickness Lever
You can adjust the LQ-2500 to accommodate different thicknesses of
paper. You need to
do
this when you print labels or carbon copies.
Before moving the paper thickness lever, always turn off the power and
open the dust cover.
The paper thickness lever has four positions. You can identify these
by looking at the catch positions in the metal plate, as shown in
Figure 3-7.
For normal use the lever should be in the second position away from
the platen as shown in Figure 3-7. For printing labels, carbon, or
carbon-less copies, move the lever to the third or fourth position away
from the platen. This slows down the print head to increase the impact,
which gives clearer, darker copies.
Always return the lever to the normal position when you resume
printing on normal paper
Figure 3-7.
