40 Paper Handling
Printing on Multi-Part Forms and Labels
Your printer can print on both single-sheet and continuous
multi-part forms, as well as on labels. It can also handle a variety
of paper thicknesses, from thin paper to ten sheets (or seven
sheets on the rear tractor) including the original. The printer
automatically adjusts to the thickness of your paper when the
Platen gap setting is set to Auto (the default) in SelecType mode.
(See “Using SelecType” on page 84 for more information.)
When you print on multi-part forms and labels, the positioning
of your text on the page can be critical. See “Adjusting the Paper
Position” on page 28 for more information on aligning your text.
You should also check both your printer and your software page
length settings before you load labels or forms.
If you are using multi-part forms or labels, you may want to use
the optional pull tractor. See “Using the Pull Tractor” on page
133 for details.

Caution:
When printing on labels, be absolutely sure that your printing
stays within the printable area of the label to prevent damage to
the print head. See “Paper” on page 167 for more information
on the printable area.
