Epson DFX-5000+ User Manual
Caution;
Be sure to use the paper memory feature before you print on
multi-partforms that vary in thickness. See Chapter 3 for
instructions.
When you print on these forms, make sure that the printing fits
within the printable area and that the top-of-form position is
set properly. The printable area is shown in Appendix A.
Using labels
When using labels, always choose the type mounted on
continuous paper with sprocket holes for use with a tractor.
Labels should be used in the front tractor only. You load labels
the same way that you load continuous paper as described in
Chapter 1, “Loading paper onto the front tractor.”
Caution:
Never use
the
TEAR OFF, FRONT/REAR, or reverse-feeding
(bottom) MICRO FEED button when labels are loaded in the
printer. Labels must never be fed backward through the printer
because
they
can easily come off the backing and jam the
printer.
Although you must never feed labels backward through the
printer, you can still use the automatic paper handling features
if you follow these precautions:
Instead of using the TEAR OFF button to remove printed
labels, press the LF/FF button until the last printed label is
at the point where you can tear it off easily.
Before using the FRONT/REAR button to switch tractors or
change paper, remove the entire supply of labels first.
Always remove labels by tearing off the fresh supply at a
perforation below the tractor and then pressing the LF/FF
button to eject the remaining labels.
