Labels - Epson LX-810 User Manual

Printing on Special Paper
Labels
If you need to print labels, always use ones mounted on a
continuous backing sheet with sprocket holes made for use with a
tractor feed. Do not try to print labels as single sheets because
labels on a shiny backing sheet almost always slip a little.
You load labels the same way you load continuous paper except
that the paper thickness lever must be adjusted for printing labels.
See the section on loading continuous paper in this chapter for
details. For the correct paper thickness setting, see the table on
page 2-25.
WARNING: Never feed labels backward through the
printer. Labels can easily peel off the backing and jam
the printer. Therefore, do not use the LOAD/EJECT button
to eject labels. Also, never use the short tear-off function
with labels (be sure to set DIP switch 1-4 to ON). If a
label does become stuck in the printer, contact your
dealer.
Since labels are especially sensitive to temperature and
humidity, always use them under normal operating
conditions. Don't leave labels loaded in the printer
between jobs; they curl around the platen and may jam
when you resume printing.
