[. . . ] When selecting labels for printing, always choose the type mounted on a continuous backing sheet with sprocket holes for use with a tractor. Do not try to print labels as single sheets because the shiny backing sheet will not feed properly. Load labels from either the front or bottom (not rear) paper slots with the tractor in the pull tractor position. You load them the same way that you load continuous paper, except you set the paper thickness lever to position 2. Caution: t Never feed labels backward with the Load/Eject or Tear Off/Bin buttons. Since labels are especially sensitive to temperature and humidity, use them only under normal operating conditions. Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they curl around the platen and may jam when you resume printing. To remove labels from the paper path after you finish printing, first tear off the labels at a point before the paper slot. Then use the LF/FF button to advance the remaining labels out of the printer. You can load envelopes only from the top paper slot, following the guidelines below: t Always set the paper thickness lever to match the thickness of the envelope. Always feed an envelope by pushing the wide edge into the printer until it meets resistance. Make sure the printing stays entirely within the printable area of the envelopes. See the Tear Off/Bin light and button descriptions in Chapter 3 for more information. This chapter covers basic operation of your printer, including the control panel lights and buttons, the printer's default settings, and other functions. The indicator lights on the control panel let you monitor the current status of the printer, and the buttons let you control many printer settings. On when the printer is not ready to print data, paper is out or jammed, the cover is open, or you press the Pause button to pause printing. The Pause light flashes when the Micro Adjust function is enabled or the print head is too hot. The Tear Off/Bin selection status is displayed by two lights: Tear off position Bin 1 Bin 2 Card Note: t Both lights are off when continuous paper is not in the tear-off position. The font selection status is displayed by three font lights on the control panel: Draft Roman Sans Serif Courier Prestige Script Others* On when you select condensed printing from the control panel. To enable the Micro Adjust function, hold down this button for at least 3 seconds when the printer is in standby mode. Press this button to load single-sheet or continuous paper to the loading position. If single-sheet paper is already in the loading position, use this button to eject the sheet. [. . . ] Continuous paper Paper that has sprocket-feed holes on both long edges, is perforated between pages, and is supplied in a folded stack.
