Printing on Special Paper Labels When using labels, always choose the type mounted on a continuous backing sheet with sprocket holes for use with a tractor. Labels should be used in t h e 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 through the printer because they can easily come off the Although you must never feed labels backward through the printer, you can still use the DFX-8000'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 &itch tractors ,or change paper, remove the entire supply of labels. To remove labels, always tear off the fresh supply at a perforation below the tractor and then press the FORM FEED or LtNE FEED: button to eject the remaining labels. When you adjust the top of form or printing position, use only the forward-feeding (top) MICRO FEED button. 2-32 Paper Handling
