User Manual

Note:
This printer automatically sets the distance between the print surface and the print head according to
the thickness and number of sheets of paper, so you do not need to set the Head Gap.
Labels
You can use two types of labels: single-sheet and continuous forms. Do not use labels on shiny
single sheet backing, because the backing sheet tends to slip and may not feed properly.
Follow these steps to load labels:
!
Caution:
Use labels only under normal operating conditions because labels are especially sensitive to
temperature and humidity.
1. Make sure of the following:
❏ Your software settings keep the printing entirely within the printable area. For information
about the printable area, see “Printable area” on page 119.
!
Caution:
Printing on the edge of a label can damage the print head.
The auto tear off function is turned off in the Default Setting mode.
2. Load labels as described in “Loading Single Sheets” on page 37 or “Loading Continuous Paper”
on page 31.
To tear off and eject labels
When using continuous forms, always tear off and eject labels as described below.
!
Caution:
Never feed labels backward using the Load/Eject. Labels can easily peel off their backing and
jam the printer.
