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.
