Page 8: Selecting A Paper Source
Selecting a Paper Source Your printer can print on single sheets, continuous paper, multipart forms, and labels. Caution: Do not use paper that is folded, creased, curled, torn, stained, or stamped. Always use new, clean paper that meets the paper specifications.
Page 9: Setting The Paper Release Lever
Setting the paper release lever Set the paper release lever to select the paper-feeding method you want the printer to use. The paper release lever has two positions: for tractor feeding and below. Single-sheet feeding position - to use the paper guide.
Page 10 The higher the number you set the paper-thickness lever to, the wider the space between the platen and print head. If your printout appears faint or characters seem skipped or missing, this setting may be too high. On the other hand, if the setting is too low, your printout may appear smudged, the paper may not feed correctly, or the ribbon may become damaged.
Page 11: Loading Continuous Paper
Loading Continuous Paper Your printer can print on continuous paper from 101.6 to 254 mm (4.0 to 10.0 inches) wide. See “Continuous paper” on page 134 for detailed continuous paper specifications. You can load continuous paper from the tractor unit.
Page 12: Loading Continuous Paper With The Tractor
When using continuous paper, it is a good idea to set the Auto tear-off function in the default-setting mode to on. For more information, see “About Your Printer’s Default Settings” on page 1. Make sure that the paper release lever is set to the tractor feeding position.

Page 19 The printer is ready to start printing. Note: ❏ If the paper feed roller rotates but the printer does not load the paper, completely remove the paper and then insert it all the way into the printer again.
Page 20: Loading Special Paper
After printing a sheet, the printer ejects it onto the paper guide and the Paper Out and Pause lights come on. If you are printing a multiple-page document, remove the printed sheet and insert a new sheet into the paper guide.
Page 21: Labels
You can load single-sheet multipart forms from the paper guide. For instructions, see “Loading Single Sheets” on page 12. You can load continuous multipart forms in the same way as you load ordinary continuous paper. For instructions, see “Loading Continuous Paper” on page 5. Caution: When printing on multipart forms, make sure that your software settings keep the printing entirely within the printable area of the...
Page 22 Never feed labels backward using the Load/Eject button. Labels can easily peel off their backing and jam the printer. 1. At the back of your printer, tear off the last label form that has entered the printer. See the illustration below.
Page 23: Switching Between Continuous Paper And Single Sheets
Switching to single sheets Follow these steps to switch from continuous paper to single sheets: 1. When the Auto tear-off function is turned on, the printer advances the paper to the tear-off position automatically. 2. Tear off the printed pages.
Page 24: Switching To Continuous Paper
1. If necessary, press the Load/Eject button to eject the last printed single sheet. 2. Make sure continuous paper is loaded in the printer as described in “Loading continuous paper with the tractor” on page 6. 3. Set the paper release lever to the tractor feeding position.
