Paper Types
Your printer can handle many types of paper, including continuous paper, single sheets, multi-
part forms, labels and envelopes.

Continuous Paper Perforated paper is available in several widths. Your printer can handle any
continuous paper that is between 3¼ inches and 9¼ inches wide (this width does not include
the sprocket margin).

Thick Paper Paper up to .007 inches thick feeds smoothly through this printer. This allows you
to use bond or ledger up to 100 gsm. However, for thicker papers you must adjust the printhead
away from the platen. See Setting the Paper Thickness Lever in this chapter for details.

Multi-Part Forms The printer can print on three-part forms (one original and two copies) with
the tractor mechanism in either the pull or push position. Four part forms require that the CPY
MODE menu is set ON. Multi-part forms, which have all layers of approximately the same
weight paper, give you the best printing results. Thinner paper layers provide better readability.

Labels Use only continuous labels. Always feed them through the bottom of the printer (with
the tractor in the pull position) for optimum printing results. Cut sheet labels and rear-feed
continuous labels make almost a full circle around the platen, causing labels to pop off occa-
sionally. Also, you should never reverse feed labels through the printer.

the optional colour kit. Best results are obtained with darker colours (red, black, blue violet).
Only use the recommended dot matrix transparencies.
