Paper Handling
When you print on these forms, make sure that the printing fits
within the printable area and that the top-of-form position is set
properly. See “Paper” on page 167 for more information about
the printable area.
Using labels
When selecting labels for printing, always choose the type
mounted on continuous paper with sprocket holes for use with a
tractor.
c
Caution:
Never use the
Tear Off
,
Front/Rear
, or
Micro Feed
d
button
when labels are loaded in the printer. Never feed labels backward
through the printer because they can easily come off the backing
and jam the printer.
Although you must never feed labels backward, you can still use
the automatic paper handling features if you follow these
precautions:
❏
Instead of using the
Tear Off
button to remove printed
labels, press the
LF/FF Load
button until the last printed
label is at the point where you can tear it off easily.
❏
Before using the
Front/Rear
button to switch tractors or
change paper, remove the entire supply of labels. Remove
labels by tearing off the fresh supply at a perforation below
the tractor. Then press the
LF/FF Load
button to eject the
remaining labels.
❏
When adjusting the top-of-form or printing position, use
only the
Micro Feed
u
button.
c
Caution:
Because labels are especially sensitive to extreme temperatures
and humidity, use them only under normal operating
conditions.
