Loading Labels
You can print on labels using single sheets or continuous
sheets. For loading instructions, follow the procedure under
“Loading Single Sheets Manually” on page 1-11 or “Loading
Continuous Paper” on page 1-22. When printing on labels, keep
the following in mind:
❑
Do not use labels that are curled or folded. Also avoid
using labels that are peeling off the backing.
❑
Use labels only under normal operating conditions:
Temperature
15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F)
Humidity
40 to 60% RH
❑
If your labels don’t feed properly or jam, see Chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting.”
❑
Make sure you load labels with the printable surface facing
up.
For single sheets of labels:
❑
Load sheets of labels into the manual feed slot one at a
time. Otherwise, they may not feed properly. See “Loading
Single Sheets Manually” on page 1-11. Also, see
Appendix B for specifications.
❑
Use labels that completely cover the backing sheet;
otherwise, they may peel off and become jammed in the
printer.
For continuous labels:
❑
Choose labels mounted on a continuous backing sheet with
sprocket holes for use with the tractor feeder. Follow the
instructions on page 1-22 to load continuous labels like any
other type of continuous paper.
