continuous forms with labels
A kind of continuous paper that has one label on each page. This is
different from label paper, which consists entirely of labels. When printing
on continuous forms with labels, the printer must adjust the height of the
print heads for the extra thickness of the labels. Before printing on this
kind of paper, measure the label thickness using the paper memory
feature.
