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 does not feed properly. Load labels from either the front or bottom (not rear) paper slots with the tractor in the pull tractor 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" earlier in this chapter for details. Caution: 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. 2-28 Paper Handling

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 does not feed properly.
Load labels from either the front or bottom (not rear) paper slots
with the tractor in the pull tractor 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”
earlier in this chapter for details.
Caution:
Never
feed
labels
backward
with the

Since labels are especially sensitive to temperature
and

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

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
