❏If you need to adjust the loading position, use your application software, or change the loading position as described on page 22.

❏When you use side-crimped continuous multipart forms, the copies may not align with the original. If this happens, raise the paper guide.

For multipart forms, you should not print any closer than

0.5inch (13 mm) from either side of the paper. For information on the printable area of envelopes, see the paper specifications on page 115.

Labels

To print on labels, you must use continuous paper loaded on the pull tractor. Keep the following tips in mind:

❏Set the paper thickness lever to the correct position for labels. (See page 29.)

❏Choose labels mounted on a continuous backing sheet with sprocket holes designed for tractor use. Do not print labels as single sheets, because the shiny backing causes the paper to slip slightly.

❏Load labels the same way you load ordinary continuous paper. See “Printing with the pull tractor” on page 17 for loading instructions.

❏Because labels are especially sensitive to temperature and humidity, use them only under normal operating conditions.

❏Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they curl around the platen and may jam when you resume printing.
