Epson DFX-8500 Printer User Manual


 
Using labels
When selecting labels for printing, always choose the type
mounted on continuous paper with sprocket holes for use
with a tractor. Load labels in the front tractor only, following
the instructions for loading continuous paper. See “Loading
Paper Onto the Front Tractor” on page 3-4.

Caution:
Never use the Tear Off, Front/Rear, or reverse-feeding
(bottom) Micro Feed button when labels are loaded in the
printer. Never feed labels backward through the printer
because they can easily come off the backing and jam the
printer.
Although you must never feed labels backward, you can still
use the automatic paper handling features if you follow these
precautions:
T Instead of using the Tear Off button to remove printed
labels, press the LF/FF Load button until the last printed
label is at the point where you can tear it off easily.
T Before using the Front/Rear button to switch tractors or
change paper, remove the entire supply of labels. Remove
labels by tearing off the fresh supply at a perforation below
the tractor. Then press the LF/FF Load button to eject the
remaining labels.
T When adjusting the top-of-form or printing position, use
only the forward-feeding (top) Micro Feed button.
c
Caution:
Because labels are especially sensitive to extreme temperatures
and humidity, use them only under normal operating
conditions.
