Using the Printer

❏ Load labels the same way as you would load ordinary
continuous paper. See “Printing with the pull tractor” on page
2-16 for loading instructions.
❏ Because labels are especially sensitive to temperature and
humidity, use them only under normal operating conditions.
Make sure the printing stays entirely within the printable
area. (See “Printer Specifications” on page A-4 for
specifications.)
❏ Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they
curl around the platen and may jam when you resume
printing.
❏ To remove the labels from the printer, tear off the fresh supply
at the bottom of the printer; then press LF/FF to advance the
remaining labels out of the printer.
c
Caution:
Never feed labels backwards through the printer; they can easily
peel off the backing sheet and jam the printer. If a label does
become stuck in the printer, contact your dealer.
