9 If your printer has bottom-feed tractors or you have a top-mounted
pull tractor option, load labels from the bottom of the printer,
especially labels that easily peel off the backing. When labels enter
the printer from the bottom, they feed straight through the printer
without having to bend around the platen.
Loading Transparencies
Your printer can handle individually-cut or pin-feed transparencies made
for dot-matrix printers. Dot-matrix transparencies contain an ink-
absorbent coating to reduce smearing and a paper backing so printer
sensors can detect when a transparency is loaded. The procedures for
loading transparencies are the same as those for loading single forms or
pin-fed report paper, except for the following precautions:

9 Transparencies are thicker than normal paper. You must adjust the
forms thickness indicator. Always start with the indicator all the
way towards the front of the printer, then slowly push it back until
print density is optimized.

9 For best results when printing on transparencies, use a fairly new
ribbon. A ribbon that is more than half way through its useful life
may not transfer enough ink onto the transparency for acceptable
projection.
