Printing on Special Paper
In addition to using single sheets and continuous paper, your printer
can also print on a wide variety of paper types, including multi-part
forms, labels, and envelopes. Your printer can sense the paper
thickness and width automatically. You need not adjust the paper
thickness manually.
Note:
If you are printing preprinted or multi-part forms or labels, it
is recommended that you use the optional pull tractor to print. See
the pull tractor section in Chapter 7.
Also,
when
you print on multi-part forms, labels, or envelopes, be
sure that your application program settings keep the printing
entirely within the printable area. That is, you should not print any
closer than one-half inch from either side of the paper for multi-
part forms and labels. For information on the printable area for
envelopes, see page 2-27.
Multi-part forms
With the built-in tractor unit, your printer can print on continuous
multi-part forms. You can use multi-part forms that have up to six parts
including the original.
