Thick paper, such as continuous paper with labels, requires a
straight or almost straight paper path. You can load labels in the
front (push tractor or pull tractor) or bottom (pull tractor) paper
slot; however, for best results, use the tractor in the pull position
and load paper in the front or bottom paper slot.
You load labels the same way you load ordinary continuous
paper, except you must set the paper thickness lever to 2 before
printing on labels. See “Loading paper onto the pull tractor” on
page 2-21 for more information.

Caution:
❏
Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear paper
slot because the paper path from the rear slot is curved; labels
may come off their backing sheet inside the printer and cause
a paper jam.
❏
Never use the tear-off feature (by pressing the
Tear Off/Bin
button or turning on the auto tear-off mode as described in
“About Your Printer’s Default Settings” in Chapter 5) to
feed continuous paper with labels backward; they may come
off their backing sheet and jam the printer.
❏
Because labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity, use
them only under normal operating conditions, as follows:
Temperature15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F)
Humidity30 to 60% RH
❏
Do not load continuous paper with labels that is damaged,
curled, or wrinkled.
❏
Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they
may curl around the platen and jam when you resume
printing.
