Some users have asked if pin feed paper (computer paper with holes on the edge)
can be used in the Imagewriter LQ while the cut sheet feeder is installed.
In fact, you must REMOVE the cut sheet feeder from the ImageWriter LQ before
using computer paper.
If you have the cut sheet feeder installed, a sensor in the printer will
register this fact. There is another sensor which indicates which type of paper
feed is selected.
When the cut sheet feeder is installed, and the paper feed lever is set to
tractor feed, conflicting signals will then be sent to the CPU in the printer.
One says "don't use the sheet feeder", the other says "use the sheet feeder".
The result is an error light.
Also, since the paper guide must move the paper from the sheet feeder into the
proper position for the platen rollers to pull it into the platen paper path.
Thus, if you use the cut sheet feeder, the paper guide must be in place to
allow the printer to place the paper correctly for printing.
