Labels
When selecting labels, consider the quality of the following components:
● Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s
maximum temperature.
● Arrangement: Only use labels that do not have exposed backing between them. Labels can
peel off of sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
● Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 in.) of curl in any
direction.
● Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
Transparencies
Transparencies must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s maximum temperature.
Envelopes
Envelope construction
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between
manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on
envelopes depends on the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the
following components:
● Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 28 lb (105 g/m 2 ), or jamming
might result.
● Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl
and should not contain air. Envelopes that trap air may cause problems.
● Condition: Make sure that the envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
● Sizes: From 90 x 160 mm (3.5 x 6.3 in.) to 178 x 254 mm (7 x 10 in.).
Envelopes with double-side seams
An envelope with double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope
rather than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Make sure that the seam
extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in the following illustration:
