Paper Handling 27 Loading Special Papers Follow the guidelines in this section when loading single-sheet multipart forms, labels, envelopes, and postcards. Single-sheet multipart forms To load single-sheet multipart forms, use the front paper entry slot with the optional front paper guide or front sheet guide installed. Thick paper, such as multipart forms with five or six parts, requires a straight paper path to avoid paper jams. For more information, see the Reference Guide. Labels When printing on labels, use only the type of labels that are mounted on continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for use with a tractor feeder. Do not try to print on single sheets with labels because the printer may not feed labels on a shiny backing sheet properly.
