Printing on Special Paper In addition to printing on single sheets and continuous paper, your printer can also print on a wide variety of paper types, including multi-part forms, labels, and envelopes. If you are printing preprinted or multi-part forms or labels, it is recommended that you use the optional pull tractor. See The Pull Tractor in Chapter 5. Before printing on special types of paper, you need to change the paper thickness setting. WARNING: When printing on multi-part forms, labels, or envelopes, make sure that your application program settings keep the printing entirely within the printable area. For multi-part forms and labels, you should not print any closer than one-half inch (13 mm) from either side of the paper. For information on the printable area for envelopes, see Envelopes later in this chapter. The Paper Thickness Lever To accommodate various thicknesses of paper, the printer is equipped with a paper thickness lever that can be set to eight positions. These positions are identified by a scale on the printer next to the lever. Paper Handling 2-23
