Printing on Special Paper
For printing on special types of paper, see the table below. When
the paper thickness lever is set to position 4 or higher, the MULTI-
PART
light comes on and the printing speed is reduced.
The following table gives you general guidelines for selecting the
right paper thickness lever position to match your paper:

Always return the lever to position 2 when you go back to

on ordinary paper.
Continuous printing with the lever set at a position higher
than 2 can shorten the life of the print head.
To help you check the position of the paper thickness lever,
the orange
MULTI-PART
light on the control panel comes on if the lever
is set to position 4 or higher.
Printing past the edge of envelopes, multi-part forms,
labels, or thicker than normal paper can damage the print
head.
