5.4.1 Special Considerations When Printing on Labels
Observe the following requirements when printing on labels:
• Labels are usually fed manually.
If you are feeding labels from
a cassette, be sure they are high-quality labels that meet the
specifications listed in Table 5–2.
• Be sure that the carrier sheet is not exposed.
• Be sure that no adhesive is exposed.
• Use the rear output tray.
5.5 Paper Handling and Storage
Although you may be using paper that meets all specifications, improper
handling and storage may affect the quality of the paper and the
performance of the printer. Improper storage and handling can cause paper
jams, misfeeding, and other printer performance problems.
Follow the recommendations in this section on paper storage and handling
to reduce the possibility of printer jams and misfeeds.
5.5.1 Paper Handling
Observe the following requirements when handling paper:
• Load the cassette to its proper capacity rather than adding small
amounts at a time. Loading small amounts of paper can cause jams
because of air pockets created between small stacks of paper.
• When you unwrap a new package of paper, discard the top and bottom
sheets, as they tend to absorb the most humidity from the surrounding
environment.
• Sudden changes in temperature or humidity can cause paper curl,
leading to misfeeds and paper jams. If you bring paper from a storage
environment that differs greatly in temperature or humidity from the
printer room, leave the paper unopened for a day to allow it to adjust
to the printer room environment.
