Loading Special Papers

Follow the guidelines in this section when loading single-sheet multipart

forms, labels, envelopes, and postcards.

Except for adjusting the paper-thickness lever, you load continuous

multipart forms the same way as ordinary continuous paper.

Note:

Be sure the multipart forms do not exceed 0.015 inch (0.39 mm) in

thickness.

Do not load paper that is curled or has been folded.

Thick paper, such as a multipart form with five parts, requires a straight

paper path to avoid paper jams. Load thick paper in the front or bottom

slots.

To load single-sheet multipart forms, use the front paper entry slot with

the optional front paper guide or front sheet guide installed. Thick paper,

such as a multipart form with five parts, requires a straight paper path to

avoid paper jams. For more information, see the Reference Guide.

When printing on labels, use only the type of labels that are mounted on

continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for use with a tractor

feeder. Do not try to print on single sheets of labels because the 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 (to the pull

tractor) or bottom (pull tractor) paper slot.

The loading procedure for continuous paper with labels is the same as

that for ordinary continuous paper, except you must set the

paper-thickness lever to 2 before printing.
