Loading Special Paper

Labels

You can use only labels with a continuous base sheet. Single-sheet labels cannot be used.
Follow these steps to load labels.
!
Caution:
❏Use labels only under normal operating conditions because labels are especially sensitive to
temperature and humidity.
❏When using glossy labels, tear off the printed label form and turn off the printer after printing is
finished. Do not leave the printed label form connected to the unprinted label forms.
1. Make sure that your software settings keep the printing entirely within the printable area. For
information about the printable area, see “Printable area” on page 92.
2. Load labels as described in “Printing on Continuous Paper” on page 15.

Ejecting labels

Always follow these steps to tear off and eject labels.
!
Caution:
Never feed labels backward using the Load/Eject button. Labels can easily peel off their backing
and jam the printer.
1. At the back of your printer, tear off the last label form that has entered the printer along the
perforation. See the illustration below.
