When printing on labels, be absolutely sure that your printing stays within the printable area of the label to prevent damage to the print head. For more information on the printable area, see Appendix A.

Using multi-part forms

You can use multi-part (carbonless) forms with up to four sheets, including the original, on the rear tractor. On the front tractor, you can use forms with up to six sheets.

You load continuous multi-part forms the same way you load any other type of continuous paper. Before loading multi-part forms, however, make sure the paper has a clean straight edge and does not separate or tear apart. See the sections on loading paper earlier in this chapter.

When you use the paper memory feature described in Chapter 3, the DFX-5000+ can print on multi-part forms that vary in thickness, such as forms with labels on them or forms that overlap slightly where they are glued together. These forms are thicker in the label area and in the places where they overlap or are joined together, as shown below.
