Loading Special Papers
Follow the guidelines in this section when loading single-sheet multipart
forms, labels, envelopes, and postcards.
Single-sheet multipart forms
To load single-sheet multipart forms, use the front paper entry slot with
the optional front paper guide or front sheet guide installed. Thick paper,
such as multipart forms with five or six parts, requires a straight paper
path to avoid paper jams. For more information, see the Reference Guide.
Labels
When printing on labels, use only the type of labels that are mounted on
continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for use with a tractor
feeder. Do not try to print on single sheets with labels because the printer
may not feed labels on a shiny backing sheet properly.
Thick paper, such as continuous paper with labels, requires a straight or
almost straight paper path. You can load labels in the front (to the pull
tractor) or bottom (pull tractor) paper slot.
The loading procedure for continuous paper with labels is the same as
that for ordinary continuous paper, except you must set the
paper-thickness lever to 2 before printing.
Note:
❏ It is best to load continuous paper with labels on the pull tractor. Do not
load labels on the rear or front push tractor.
❏ Never feed labels backward using the
Load/Eject or Tear Off/Bin button.
When fed backward, labels can easily peel off the backing sheet and cause a
paper jam.
❏ Because labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity, use them only
under normal operating conditions:
❏ Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they may curl
around the platen and jam when you resume printing.
