Epson DFX-8000 User Manual - Page 81

Printing on Special Paper The DFX-8000 can print on various types of paper, including multipart forms and labels. It can also handle a variety of paper thicknesses, from thin paper to six-part forms. The printer automatically adjusts to the thickness and width of your paper. When you print on multi-part forms and labels, the positioning of your text on the page can be critical. For more. information on aligning your text, see the sections on adjusting the top. of form and printing positions in Chapter 3. You should also check both your printer and your software page length settings before you load labels or forms. See the section on page length in Chapter 3. If you are using labels or preprinted or multi-part forms, you may want to use the optional pull tractor. See Chapter 5. WARNING: When printing on multi-part forms or labels, make sure that your printing stays within the printable area of the paper to prevent damage to the print head. For more information on the printable area, see page 8-6. Copy mode If the printing on the last pages of your multi-part forms is too faint, you can use the DFX-8000's copy mode to print clearer, darker characters on each page. In copy mode, which is available only for draft, not NLQ, the DFX-8000 prints at half the normal speed. To select or cancel copy mode, press the FORM FEED/COPY button when the ON LINE light is on. When you select copy mode, the printer beeps twice; when you cancel copy mode, the printer beeps once. Paper Handling 2-29
