Printing on Special Paper
Labels
When printing labels, use the type mounted on a continuous
backing sheet with sprocket holes for use with a tractor. Do not try
to print labels as single sheets because labels on a shiny backing
sheet may not feed properly.
You can load labels from the front (push tractor or pull tractor) or
bottom (pull tractor) paper slot; however, for best results, use the
tractor in the pull-tractor position. You load labels the same way you
load continuous paper, except you must set the paper-thickness
lever to 2 before printing labels.
See Loading paper with the pull tractor earlier in this chapter for
details.

CAUTION:
l
l
Never feed labels backward with the
ALT + EJECT
or
TEAR OFF
buttons. Labels can easily peel off the backing
and cause a jam.
l
Because labels are sensitive to extreme temperature
and humidity, always use them under normal
operating conditions.
l
Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs;
they curl around the platen and may jam when you
resume printing.
l
To remove labels from the paper path after you finish
printing, tear off the labels at a point before the paper
slot. Then use the
PAPER FEED
button to advance the
remaining labels out of the printer.
