Labels
When selecting labels for printing, always choose the type
mounted on a continuous backing sheet with sprocket holes for
use with a tractor. Do not try to print labels as single sheets
because the shiny backing sheet will not feed properly.
Load labels from either the front or bottom (not rear) paper slots
with the tractor in the pull tract or position. You load them the
same way that you load continuous paper, except you set the
paper thickness lever to position 2. See “Using Continuous Paper”
on page 2-9 for details.
cCaution:
❏Never feed labels backward with the Load/Eject or Tear
Off/Bin buttons. Labels can easily peel off the backing and
jam the printer.
❏Since 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.
❏To remove labels from the paper path after you finish
printing, first tear off the labels at a point before the paper
slot. Then use the LF/FF button to advance the remaining
labels out of the printer.
