Selecting Paper The printer can handle either single sheets or continuous forms. Single sheets, also called cut sheets, include envelopes and non-continuous, multipart forms. Continuous forms include labels and multipart forms fed into the printer using the forms tractors. For best results, use paper that meets the specifications listed in the following table. (See Appendix B, “Printer and Paper Specifications,” for detailed specifications.) If you are unsure of the suitability of a particular type of paper, try testing the paper or consult your dealer.

 The printer can handle paper with different thicknesses, including multipart forms with up to four parts (original plus three copies). For details on paper thickness specifications, see Appendix B “Printer and Paper Specifications.” The Print Gap lever, located on the left under the cover, allows you to adjust for different paper thicknesses. Be sure to adjust the Print Gap lever whenever you change the number of copies being printed. The print gap lever has twelve settings. Moving the Print Gap lever to front of printer reduces the Print Gap. Adjusting the Print Gap Lever Using Continuous Forms Continuous forms paper, fanfolded at the horizontal perforations, is ideal for printing rough drafts, long files, forms and invoices. The paper is fed into the printer using the forms tractor unit. The Push tractor is at the front/bottom of the printer. The paper is loaded and adjusted via pushbuttons. The forms may be advanced to tear off position by operator or automatically through a timeout.
