2 Paper Handling
Selecting a Paper Source
Your printer can print on single sheets, continuous paper, 
multipart forms, and labels.

Caution:
Do not use paper that is folded, creased, curled, torn, stained, or 
stamped. Always use new, clean paper that meets the paper 
specifications. See “Paper” on page 133 for more detailed 
information.
Your printer can accommodate several paper types through two 
paper sources: paper guide or tractor. You should select the paper 
source depending on the type of paper you are using. You can 
select the paper source by setting the paper release lever. See 
“Printer Parts” on page 128 for more information.
