Printing on Special Paper
In addition to printing on single sheets and continuous paper, your
printer can also print on a wide variety of paper types, including
multi-part forms, labels, and envelopes.
Before printing on special types of paper, you need to change the
paper thickness setting.
CAUTION: When printing on multi-part forms, labels, or
envelopes, make sure that your application program
settings keep the printing entirely within the printable
area.
For multi-part forms and labels you should not print any
closer than one-half inch from either side of the paper.
For information on the printable area for envelopes, see
Envelopes later in this chapter.
The Paper Thickness Lever
To accommodate various thicknesses of paper, the printer is
equipped with a paper thickness lever that can be set to seven
positions (standard width printer) or eight positions (wide carriage
printer). These positions are identified by a scale on the printer next
to the lever.
To change the paper thickness setting, follow these steps.
1. Make sure that the printer is turned off. Then remove the printer
cover.
WARNING: If the printer has just been in use, the print
head may be hot. Allow it to cool before touching it.
