Labels

When printing labels, always choose the type mounted on a
continuous backing sheet with sprocket holes for use with a tractor.
Do not try to print labels as single sheets because labels on a shiny
backing sheet do not feed properly.
It is recommended you load labels from the front or bottom paper
slots with the tractor in the pull-tractor position. You load labels the
same way that you load continuous paper (with the pull tractor), except
you set the paper-thickness lever to position 2.
See Loading continuous paper with the pull tractor earlier in this
chapter for details.
CAUTION:
• Never feed labels backward with the LOAD/EJECT or

backing and jam the printer.
Since labels are especially sensitive to temperature and
l
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 labels from the paper path after you finish

printing, first tear off the labels at a point before the
