printer and your software page length settings before you load
labels or forms. See

make sure that your printing stays within the printable

Copy mode
If the printing on the last pages of your multi-part forms is too
faint, you can use the DFX-8000’s copy mode to print clearer,
darker characters on each page. In copy mode, which is available
only for draft, not NLQ, the DFX-8000 prints at half the normal
speed.
