3. The numbers next to the lever indicate the thickness setting.

Use the table below to select the appropriate paper

thickness.

4. Close the printer cover.

5. Turn on the printer.

Multipart forms

You can use continuous or single-sheet carbonless multipart

forms of up to five parts (one original plus four copies). Follow

these guidelines:

❏ Set the paper thickness lever to the correct position for your

forms as described above.

❏ Use continuous multipart forms that are joined only by spot

gluing or side-crimping. Never load continuous multipart

forms joined by metal staples, tape, or continuous gluing.

❏ Use single-sheet multipart forms that are line-glued only at

the top. Insert the forms glued-edge-first into the printer.

❏ Make sure that multipart forms are not wrinkled.

❏ If you need to adjust the loading position, use your

application software or change the top-of-form position as

described on page 10.

❏ When you use side-crimped continuous multipart forms,

the copies may not align with the original. If this happens,

raise the paper guide.

For multipart forms, you should not print any closer than

0.5 inch (13 mm) from either side of the paper.

Labels

To print on labels, you must use continuous paper loaded on

the pull tractor. Keep the following tips in mind:

❏ Set the paper thickness lever to the correct position for

labels, as described above.

❏ Choose labels mounted on a continuous backing sheet with

sprocket holes designed for tractor use. Do not print labels

as single sheets, because the shiny backing causes the paper

to slip slightly.

❏ Load labels the same way you load ordinary continuous

paper. See page 9 for loading instructions.

❏ Because labels are especially sensitive to temperature and

humidity, use them only under normal operating

conditions.

❏ Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they

curl around the platen and may jam when you resume

printing.

❏ To remove the labels from the printer, tear off the fresh

supply at the back of the printer; then press the

LF/FF

button to advance the remaining labels out of the printer.

Never feed labels backward through the printer; they

can easily peel off the backing sheet and jam the

printer.

Envelopes

You can feed envelopes individually using the paper guide the

same way you load single sheets. (See page 12.) Keep the

following tips in mind:

❏ Set the paper thickness lever to the proper position. See

page 12.

❏ Insert the envelope printable-side down, wide-edge-first,

between the edge guides. Push it firmly and hold it until it

feeds into the printer.

❏ Use envelopes only under normal temperature and

humidity conditions.

❏ Make sure the printing stays entirely within the printable

area.

❏ The print head must not go past the left or right edge of the

envelope or other thick paper. It’s a good idea to print a test

sample using a normal single sheet of paper before you print

on envelopes.
