Loading Continuous Paper With Labels - Epson FX-880 User Manual

Loading Continuous Paper With 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.
You can load labels from the front (push tractor or pull tractor)
or bottom (pull tractor) paper slot; however, for best results,
use the tractor in the front or bottom pull position. You load
labels the same way you load continuous paper, except you
must set the paper thickness lever to 2 before printing on labels.
See "Loading paper with the pull tractor" later in this chapter
for more information.
c
Caution:
Never feed labels backward using the Load/Eject or
Tear Off/Bin button. 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 (listed
on page B-5).
Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they
may curl around the platen and jam when you resume
printing.
