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
TEAR OFF buttons. Labels can easily peel off the backing
and jam the printer.
Since labels are especially sensitive to temperature and
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 paper
slot. Then use the LF/FF button to advance the remaining
labels out of the printer.
