Labels - Epson FX-1180+ User Manual

Labels

When printing on labels, use only the type of labels that are
mounted on continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for
use with a tractor feeder. Do not try to print on single sheets
with labels because the printer may not feed labels on a shiny
backing sheet properly.
Thick paper, such as continuous paper with labels, requires a
straight or almost straight paper path. You can load labels in the
front (push tractor or pull tractor) or bottom (pull tractor) paper
slot; however, for best results, use the tractor in the pull position,
and load paper in the front or bottom paper slot.
The loading procedure for continuous paper with labels is the
same as that for ordinary continuous paper, except you must set
the paper-thickness lever to 2 before printing.
Note:
❏ It is best to load continuous paper with labels on the pull tractor.
Do not load labels on the rear or front push tractor.
❏ Never feed labels backward using the Load/Eject or
Tear Off/Bin button. When fed backward, labels can easily peel off
the backing sheet and cause a paper jam.
❏ Because labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity, use them
only under normal operating conditions:
❏ Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they may
curl around the platen and jam when you resume printing.
❏ Do not load continuous paper with labels from the rear paper slot.
Because the rear paper path is curved, labels may come off their
backing sheets inside the printer and cause a paper jam.
❏ Do not load paper that is curled or has been folded.
