Printing on Special Paper Never feed the labels backward through the printer. Labels can easily come off the backing and jam the 8 printer. Also, never use the LOAD/EJECT button to eject labels or to feed labels backward to the standby position. If a label does become stuck in the printer mechanism, refer the problem to your dealer. Since labels are especially sensitive to temperature and humidity, always use them under normal operating conditions. Envelopes With the optional cut sheet feeder installed, you can print on a variety of envelopes, including air mail, plain, or bond. See the section on the cut sheet feeder in Chapter 7. Before loading envelopes into the cut sheet feeder, you need to adjust the paper thickness lever. See the table showing envelope types and recommended lever positions on page 2-17. You can also feed envelopes individually, using the single sheet loading feature. First, set the paper-thickness lever as indicated in the table on page 2-17. Then, follow the single sheet loading instructions at the beginning of this chapter. Because of the thickness of envelopes, however, you may have to press down slightly on the envelope at the same time you press the LOAD/EJECT button. 2-19
