Loading Continuous Paper With Labels
When printing on labels, use only the type of labels that are
mounted on continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for
use with a tractor feeder. Do not try to print on single sheets with
labels because the printer may not feed labels on a shiny backing
sheet properly.
Thick paper, such as continuous paper with labels, requires a
straight or almost straight paper path. When you load labels, be
sure to use the tractor in the pull position and load the labels in
the front or bottom.
You load labels the same way you load ordinary continuous
paper, except you must set the paper thickness lever to 2 before
printing on labels. See “Loading paper onto the pull tractor” on
page 2-16 for more information.

Caution:
❏ Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear paper
slot because the paper path from the rear slot is curved; labels
may come off their backing sheet inside the printer and cause
a paper jam.
❏ Because labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity, use
them only under normal operating conditions, as follows:
❏ Do not load continuous paper with labels that is damaged,
curled, or wrinkled.
❏ Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they
may curl around the platen and jam when you resume
printing.
Temperature 15 to 25 °C (59 to 77 °F)
Humidity 30 to 60% RH
