Printing on Special Paper
Except for the paper-thickness setting, you load multi-part paper the
same way as continuous paper. For details, see the section on
loading continuous paper in this chapter. Pay special attention to
setting the top-of-form position.
CAUTION:
l Do not use multi-part forms with the single-sheet
feeding system.
l When printing multi-part forms, make sure the
printing stays entirely within the printable area of the
forms.
Labels
When printing labels, always choose the type mounted on a
continuous backing sheet with sprocket holes for use with a tractor.
Do not try to print labels as single-sheets because labels on a shiny
backing sheet almost always slip a little.
Load labels from the bottom paper slot only. You load labels the
same way that you load continuous paper except that the paper-
thickness lever must be adjusted for printing labels. See the section
on loading continuous paper in this chapter for details. For the
correct paper-thickness setting, see the table on page 2-15.
CAUTION:
l Never feed labels backward through the printer.
Labels can easily peel off the backing and jam the
printer.
l Since labels are especially sensitive to temperature and
humidity, use them only under normal operating
conditions.
l Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs;
they curl around the platen and may jam when you
resume printing.
