Labels
You must use the tractor as a pull tractor to print on labels. Keep
these tips in mind:
Choose labels mounted on a continuous backing sheet with
sprocket holes made for use with a tractor. Do not print labels
as single sheets, because the shiny backing sheet almost
always slips slightly.
You load labels the same way you load continuous paper,
except that the paper thickness lever should be set to 1. See
“Printing with the pull tractor” on page 2-10 for loading
instructions.
Because labels are especially sensitive to temperature and
humidity, use them only under normal operating conditions.
Make sure the printing stays entirely within the printable
area. (See “Printer Specifications” on page A-4 for
specifications.)
Don’t leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they curl
around the platen and may jam when you resume printing.
To remove the labels from the printer, tear off the fresh supply
at the rear of the printer; then press
LF/FF
to advance the
remaining labels out of the printer.

Caution:
Never feed labels backwards through the printer; they can easily
peel off the backing and jam the printer. If a label does become
stuck in the printer, contact your dealer.
