Status Monitor

The EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility comes with your printer

but is available only for use with Microsoft

and 98. It allows you to monitor your printer's status, alerts

you when printer errors occur, and provides troubleshooting

instructions when needed.

Paper Positions

Top-of-Form Position

The top-of-form position is the position where the printer

starts printing on a page of single-sheet or continuous paper.

The letters ABC above are printed at the top-of-form position.

Tear-off Position

Your continuous paper is in the tear-off position when the

perforation is aligned with the printer's tear-off edge. You can

easily tear off your printed document when your paper is in

this position.

Standby Position

Your continuous paper is in the standby position when it is

attached to the tractor but not loaded in the printer.

Available Paper Paths

Your printer provides a variety of paper paths for printing on

continuous and single-sheet paper. As described in this

Windows

section, paper can be fed into the printer from the top, front,

bottom, or rear. Select the paper path that best suits your

current printing needs.

Printing on Continuous Paper

You can choose from three tractor positions (front push, rear

push, and pull) and three paper entry slots (front, rear, and

bottom) for continuous paper printing. This section helps you

determine which paper paths and tractor positions are best for

your continuous paper printing needs.

Using a push tractor

If you often need to tear off sheets of continuous paper (for

example, if you are printing purchase orders or sales slips), it is

best to use a push tractor. This allows you to use the printer's

tear-off edge to easily tear off printed sheets of continuous

paper at the perforation. Also, when continuous paper is

loaded on a push tractor, you can load single sheets of paper

from the paper guide without removing the continuous paper.

There are two push tractor positions: front and rear. The

tractors are installed in the front push and rear push

positions when the printer is shipped. See the table below for

details about the push positions and the corresponding

paper-feeding paths.

Note:

The tractor in the rear push position cannot be removed.

Tractor position

Description

To use the front push tractor, you need to

purchase the optional tractor unit (C80032*),

and install it in the front push position.

To use this tractor, load paper in the front slot.

If you print on thick paper such as multipart

front push

forms or continuous paper with labels, load the

paper in the front paper slot because the paper

path from this slot is almost straight. This

reduces the chance of paper jams.

To use this tractor, load paper in the rear slot.

Note:

Because thick multipart forms require a

straight paper path, load them in the front slot.

Caution:

Do not load continuous paper with labels in the

rear push

rear slot. The labels may come off their backing

sheet inside the printer and cause a paper jam.
