Paper Handling 29
R
❏ Do not load continuous paper with labels from the rear paper slot. Because
the rear paper path is curved, labels may come off their backing sheets
inside the printer and cause a paper jam.
❏ Do not load paper that is curled or has been folded.
Removing continuous paper with labels
To prevent labels from peeling off the backing sheet and jamming the
printer, follow these steps to remove continuous paper with labels from
the printer:
1. Tear off the fresh supply of continuous labels at the perforation
nearest the paper entry slot.
2. Hold down the
LF/FF button to eject the remaining labels from the
printer.
c
Caution:
Never feed labels backward using the
Load/Eject or Tear Off/Bin button.
When fed backward, labels can easily come off the backing sheet and cause a
paper jam.
Envelopes
You can feed envelopes one at a time using the paper guide, or you can
load multiple envelopes using the optional high-capacity cut-sheet
feeder (bin 1 of the double-bin cut-sheet feeder).
Before loading envelopes, set the paper-thickness lever to position 5 (for
thin envelopes) or 6 (for thick envelopes).
To load single envelopes, follow
the instructions in “Loading
Single Sheets with the Paper
Guide” on page 26. To load
multiple envelopes, see the
Reference Guide.
Note:
❏ Be sure to place the envelope
printable side down and insert
the top edge of the envelope into
the printer first.
