Caution:
Use the paper-feed knob on the right side of the printer only to
clear paper jams and only when the printer is off. Otherwise, you
may damage the printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form
position.

Printing on Special Paper

Your printer can also print on a wide variety of paper types,
including multipart forms, labels, and envelopes.
For multipart forms and labels, you should not print any closer
than 13 mm (0.5 inch) from either side of the paper. For
information on the printable area of envelopes, see "Printable
area" on page A-15.

Caution:
When printing on multipart forms, thicker-than-normal paper,
labels, or envelopes, make sure your application software settings
keep the printing entirely within the printable area. Printing past
the edge of these papers can damage the print head.

Adjusting the paper-thickness lever
