Printing on Continuous Paper
You can load continuous paper in the built-in tractor feeder on
the back of the printer without removing paper from the
built-in sheet feeder. Load any type of continuous paper that is
between 4 inches (102 mm) and 16 inches (406 mm) wide,
such as greenbar paper, fanfold banner paper, or continuous
label paper.
1. Turn on the printer, but don’t send a print job before you
load paper on the tractor feeder; always load paper first.
2. Set up your printer so there’s enough room in the back to
feed the paper and enough room in front for the printed
pages to stack without obstruction. Position the paper
supply within 3 feet (1 meter) of the printer.
3. Set the paper release lever to the continuous paper position
(the continuous paper icon appears above the lever handle).
When you print on
continuous paper, it’s a
good idea to turn on auto
tear-off mode so the
printed paper can
advance to the tear-off
position automatically.
Follow the instructions on
page 5-3.
Caution:
If you load continuous
label paper, make sure
the printer’s auto tear-off
feature is turned off. If
you have this feature
turned on, labels could
be fed backward and
peel off inside the
printer. See page 5-3 for
instructions on checking
or changing the setting
using default-setting
mode.
