You load continuous multi-part paper the same way that you load continuous paper. See the section on loading continuous paper in this chapter for details. The only difference is that you need to adjust the paper thickness lever to suit the thickness of your paper before loading. See the table above for the correct paper thickness setting. Labels If you need to print labels, always choose the type mounted on a continuous base sheet provided with sprocket holes for use with the tractor. If you attempt to print labels using the single-sheet feeding system, labels on a shiny base sheet almost always slip a little. You load labels the same way that you load continuous paper. See the section on loading continuous paper in this chapter for details. The only difference is that you need to adjust the paper thickness lever to match the thickness of your labels. See the table above for the correct paper thickness setting. To remove labels, tear off at a perforation behind the push tractor. Then take the printer off line and use the FORM FEED button to eject the labels. WARNING: Never feed the labels backward through the printer. Labels can easily come off the backing and jam the printer. Therefore, never use the LOAD/EJECT button to eject labels or to feed labels backward to the standby position. Also, never use the short tear-off feature with labels. If a label does become stuck in the printer mechanism, take the printer to a qualified service person. Since labels are especially sensitive to temperature and humidity, always use them under normal operating conditions. Envelopes You can print on a variety of envelopes, including air mail, plain, or bond. To feed envelopes individually, use the single sheet loading feature. First, set the paper thickness lever as indicated in the table above. Then, follow the single sheet loading instructions at the beginning of this chapter. Paper Handling 2-19
