Using labels When using labels in the DFX-5000, always choose the type mounted on continuous paper with sprocket holes for use with a tractor. Labels should be used in the front tractor only. You load labels the same way that you load continuous paper. See the section on loading paper onto the front tractor earlier in this chapter. WARNING: Never use the TEAR OFF, FRONT/REAR, or reverse-feeding (bottom) MICRO FEED button when labels are loaded in the printer. Labels must never be fed backward through the printer because they can easily come off the backing and jam the printer. Although you must never feed labels backward through the printer, you can still use the DFX-5000's automatic paper handling features if you follow these precautions: Instead of using the TEAR OFF button to remove printed labels, take the printer off line and press the FORM FEED or LINE FEED button until the last printed label is at the point where you can tear it off easily. Before using the FRONT/REAR button to switch tractors or change paper, remove the entire supply of labels first. Always remove labels by tearing off the fresh supply at a perforation below the tractor and then pressing the FORM FEED or LINE FEED button to eject the remaining labels. When adjusting the top of form or printing position, use only the forward-feeding (top) MICRO FEED button. WARNING: Because labels are especially sensitive to 1a extreme temperatures and humidity, always use them Q under normal operating conditions. Loading and Using Paper 2-31
