Paper Thickness Lever Positions

Setting the paper thickness lever allows the printer to
accommodate various thicknesses of paper. The paper
thickness lever is located under the printer cover. You can
select one of nine positions identified by the scale next to
the lever.
Use the following table to set the paper thickness lever to
match the thickness of your paper.
Paper type
Ordinary (single sheets or continuous paper)
Thin paper
Carbonless multipart forms with:
2 parts (original + 1 copy)
3 parts (original + 2 copies)
4 parts (original + 3 copies)
5 parts (original + 4 copies)
Continuous paper with labels
Envelopes
Postcards
Note:
If the printed image is smeared, you may need to set the paper
thickness lever one position higher to improve print quality.
If the printed image is faint or has many gaps, you may need to set
the paper thickness lever one position lower to improve print quality.

Paper Handling

Loading Multipart Forms
You can use carbonless multipart forms of up to five parts
(four copies plus the original). Make sure you set the paper
thickness lever to the proper position based on the number of
layers in your form.
For best results with thick paper such as multipart forms,
paper thickness
select a straight or almost straight paper path. It is best to load
lever
multipart forms using:
Except for setting the paper thickness lever, you load
multipart forms the same way you load ordinary continuous
paper.
Note:
Be sure your multipart forms do not exceed 0.015 inch (0.39 mm) in
thickness for the printable area and up to 0.035 inch (0.9 mm) for the
perforated edges.
Lever position
Use multipart forms only under normal temperature and humidity
conditions, as follows:
-1 or 0
-1 or 0
Do not load paper that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled.

When printing on labels, use only labels that are mounted on
2
continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for use with a
2 through 5
tractor feeder. Do not print labels on single sheets because the
2
printer may not feed labels on a shiny backing sheet properly.
Thick paper, such as continuous paper with labels, requires a
straight or almost straight paper path. You can load labels in
the front (push or pull tractor) or bottom (pull tractor) paper
slot; however, for best results, use the tractor in the pull
position and load paper in the front or bottom paper slot.
