should be used in t h e  front tractor only. You load labels the same
way that you load continuous paper. See the section on loading
paper onto the front tractor earlier in this chapter.

you can still use the DFX-8000’s  automatic paper handling features

Instead of’ using 
the TEAR OFF button to remove printed labels,
take the printer off line and press the 
FORM FEED or LINE FEED
button until the last printed label is at the point where you can
tear it off easily.
Before using the 
FRONT/REAR button to

always tear off the fresh supply at a perforation below  the
tractor and then 
press the FORM FEED or
