cCaution:

❏When printing on overlapping multipart forms, make sure that your software settings keep the printing entirely within the printable area of the forms. Printing on the edge of a multipart form can damage the print head. For information about the printable area, see the paper specifications in Appendix C.

❏Never feed overlapping multipart forms backward with the

Load/Eject or Tear Off/Special Paper buttons. Doing so may cause paper jams or damage to the printer.

❏To remove overlapping multipart forms from the paper path after you finish printing, first tear off the paper at a point before the paper slot. Then use the LF/FF button to advance the remaining paper out of the printer.

Using Labels

When selecting labels for printing, always choose labels mounted on continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for use with a tractor. Do not use labels on shiny single-sheet backing, because the backing sheet tends to slip and may not feed properly.

Labels are loaded in the same way as you load ordinary continuous paper, except for the paper thickness lever setting. LQ-680 users should set the lever to 2. LQ-680Pro users are recommended to use the Auto setting, or set it manually to 2 for faster throughput. For instructions on loading, see “Using Continuous Paper” earlier in this chapter. For instructions on paper thickness lever setting, see “Adjusting the Paper Thickness Lever” earlier in this chapter.
