HP 2601 Printer
HP 2601 Letter Quality Printer
The HP 2601 printer is a daisywheel printer that produces
typewriter-quality output. It uses either plastic or metalized
print wheels, which are available in several languages.
Loading Paper or Forms
Inserting paper or forms into the HP 2601 is accomplished in much
the same manner as in a standard typewriter. Paper is inserted
down behind the metal paper out bail and platen while the platen
is turned manually to bring the paper around and up in front of
the platen. The front paper bail aids in guiding the paper back
over the platen to the rear when pulled forward. The paper
release lever at the right-hand side of the printer may be pulled
forward to release roller pressure after paper insertion so the
paper can be properly aligned in the printer. After positioning
the paper, return both the front paper bail and paper release
lever to their operating positions.
Paper Thickness/Print Intensity Adjustment
The 2-position multicopy lever located at the front of the
carriage assembly adjusts for paper thickness and print
intensity. Setting the lever to its upper position moves the
carriage close to the platen, and actuates a switch for the
proper setting of light and medium weight paper and form sets of
up to two carbon copies. For heavier or form sets ,of up to five
copies, the Multicopy lever is set to its lower position. This
rocks the carriage away from the platen slightly, and deactivates
the switch, enabling increased print intensity.
To avoid the possibility of ribbon damage, the Multicopy lever
should always be set to its upper position when printing on
single sheets of paper using carbon ribbons.
