Printing on Special Media When you print on continuous paper, it's a good idea to turn on auto tear-off mode so the printed paper can advance to the tear-off position automatically. Follow the instructions on page 5-3. Printing on Continuous Paper You can load continuous paper in the built-in tractor feeder on the back of the printer without removing paper from the built-in sheet feeder. Load any type of continuous paper that is between 4 inches (102 mm) and 16 inches (406 mm) wide, such as greenbar paper, fanfold banner paper, or continuous label paper. 1. Turn on the printer, but don't send a print job before you load paper on the tractor feeder; always load paper first. 2. Set up your printer so there's enough room in the back to feed the paper and enough room in front for the printed pages to stack without obstruction. Position the paper supply within 3 feet (1 meter) of the printer. Caution: If you load continuous label paper, make sure the printer's auto tear-off feature is turned off. If you have this feature turned on, labels could be fed backward and peel off inside the printer. See page 5-3 for instructions on checking or changing the setting using default-setting mode. 3. Set the paper release lever to the continuous paper position (the continuous paper icon appears above the lever handle). continuous paper icon 3-14
