Tips on loading label sheets
•
Make sure the top of the label sheet feeds into the printer first.
•
Make sure the adhesive on the labels does not extend to within 1 mm of the edge of the label sheet.
•
Make sure the paper guide or paper guides rest against the edges of the label sheet.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets (with areas exposed by missing labels) may cause labels to peel off during
printing, resulting in a paper jam.
Note: Labels require more drying time. Remove each label sheet as it exits, and then allow it to dry to avoid ink
smudging.
