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:
Lever position
❏
Set the paper thickness lever to the correct position for
0
labels, as described above.
0
❏
Choose labels mounted on a continuous backing sheet with
1
sprocket holes designed for tractor use. Do not print labels
2
3
as single sheets, because the shiny backing causes the paper
1
to slip slightly.
2 or 4
❏
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
button to advance the remaining labels out of 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.
7/06
Never feed labels backward through the printer; they
can easily peel off the backing sheet and jam the
printer.
