Always return the lever to position 2 when you go back to printing on
ordinary paper. Continuous printing with the lever set at a position
higher than 2
can
shorten the life of the print head.
WARNING: Printing past the edge of envelopes, multi-part
forms, labels, or thick paper can damage the print head.
When you print on anything thicker than normal paper, such as
envelopes or multi-part forms, be absolutely sure that your printing stays
within the printable area of the paper. See page 2-20 and Appendix A for
more about the printable area of the paper.
Multi-part forms
Your printer can also use continuous multi-part forms. These multiple
forms should have no more than four parts including the original.
Note: Multi-part forms should not be used with the single sheet
feeding system or the optional cut sheet feeder.
