Solution
You may not be using the correct type of
labels. Read through the section on
printing on special paper for the correct
type of labels to use. See Chapter 2.
You may be trying to back-feed labels
through the printer. This can cause labels
to come off their backing and jam the
printer. Do not feed labels using the
LOAD/EJECT button. Also, make sure that
DIP switch 2-7 (short tear-off) is off.
If a label does become jammed in the
printer mechanism, see your Epson dealer
for assistance.
Pull the paper release lever forward to the
continuous paper position, set the paper,
then press the LOAD/EJECT button. See
Chapter 2.
