Single-sheet multipart forms
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
multipart forms
with five or six
front sheet guide
parts, requires a
straight paper path
to avoid paper jams.
Make sure the forms
do not exceed 0.018
inch (0.46 mm).
Labels
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
with 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 (push tractor 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.
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. Keep the
following in mind:
It is best to load continuous paper with labels on the pull
tractor. Do not load labels on the rear or front push tractor.
Never feed labels backward using the
button. When fed backward, labels can easily
Tear Off/Bin
peel off the backing sheet and cause a paper jam.
Because labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity,
use them only under normal operating conditions:
Temperature:
59 to 77°F (15 to 25°C)
Humidity
30 to 60% RH
Do not leave labels in the printer between jobs; they may
curl around the platen and jam when you resume printing.
Do not load continuous paper with labels from the rear
paper slot. Because the rear paper path is curved, labels may
come off their backing sheets inside the printer and cause a
paper jam.
Do not load paper that is curled or has been folded.

Removing continuous paper with labels
To prevent labels from peeling off the backing sheet and
jamming the printer, follow these steps to remove continuous
paper with labels from the printer:
1. Tear off the fresh supply of continuous labels at the
perforation nearest the paper entry slot.
2. Hold down the
button to eject the remaining labels
LF/FF
from the printer.
Never feed labels backward using the Load/Eject or
Tear Off/Bin button. When fed backward, labels can
easily come off the backing sheet and cause a paper
jam.
Envelopes
Before loading envelopes, set the paper-thickness lever to a
position from 2 (for thin envelopes) to 6 (for thick envelopes).
You can feed envelopes one at a time using the paper guide,
or you can load multiple envelopes using the optional
high-capacity cut-sheet feeder (bin 1 of the double-bin
cut-sheet feeder).
Be sure to place the envelope printable side down and insert the
top edge of the envelope into the printer first.
The print head must not print past the left or right edge of the
envelope or other thick paper. Make sure your application
program prints entirely within the printable area of your
envelope.
If you are using No. 6 envelopes, make sure the left edge guide
is aligned with the arrow on the paper guide.
