sheets, include envelopes and non-continuous, multipart forms. Continuous forms include
labels and multipart forms fed into the printer using the forms tractors. The printer is able to
print 1~5 plies multipart paper.
Do not load paper that has been folded or is damaged, wrinkled, or curled.
3.1 Adjusting the Print Gap Lever
The print gap lever is on the left side of the printer inside the top cover. Take care to adjust the
print gap lever to a suitable position whenever you change the number of copies being printed.
Using the wrong print gap may cause print head damage or paper jams.
