Paper handling
Paper types
The printer can handle either single sheets or continuous forms. Single sheets, also called
cut sheets, include envelopes and non-continuous, multipart forms. Continuous forms in-
clude labels and multipart forms fed into the printer using the forms tractors.
For best results, use paper that meets the specifications listed in the following table. (See
Appendix A,
“Paper specifications”
on page A-4 for detailed specifications.) If you are unsure
of the suitability of a particular type of paper, try testing the paper or consult your dealer.
