experiment to get the setting you want.

CAUTION: When you use labels, always be sure that
they are not fed backward because backward feeding can
make them peel off their backing and jam the printer.

change the back-feed setting in the default-setting mode to Disable.
When the back-feed setting is Disable, the printer never feeds paper
backward.

l The printer does not feed paper to the paper-park position even
if you press the LF/FF and FONT buttons.
