Printing on Special Paper
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 pages 2-20 and 8-3
for more about printable area.
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.
Multi-part forms should not be used with the single-sheet feeding
system or the cut sheet feeder.
You load continuous multi-part paper the same way that you
load continuous paper. See the section on loading continuous paper
in this chapter for details. The only difference is that you need to
adjust the paper thickness lever to suit the thickness of your paper
before loading. When you set the paper thickness lever to position 4
or above, the
MULTI-PART
light comes on and the printing speed is
reduced. See the table on the previous page for the correct paper
thickness setting.
Labels
If you need to print labels, always choose the type mounted on a
continuous base sheet provided with sprocket holes for use with the
tractor. If you attempt to print labels using the single-sheet feeding
system, labels on a shiny base sheet almost always slip a little.
You load labels the same way that you load continuous paper.
See the section on loading continuous paper in this chapter for
details. The only difference is that you need to adjust the paper
thickness lever to match the thickness of your labels. See the table
on page 2-17 for the correct paper thickness setting.
To remove labels, tear off at a perforation behind the push
tractor. Then, set the printer off line and use the FORM FEED button
to eject the labels.
