Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to
withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is
recommended to try a sample first.
When printing on labels:
l Set the paper type to Label from the printer driver.
l Do not load labels together with paper in the same tray. This may result in a paper jam.
l Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
l Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die cut.
l Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your
cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge warranties.
l Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
l Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.
l Do not use label sheets that have adhesive right up to the edge of the sheet. It is recommended that the zone coating of the adhesive to be at least 1
mm (0.04 inches) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.
l If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 inches) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing
adhesive should be used.
l Remove a 3 mm (0.125 inches) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.
l Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
l Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
Storing Print Media
For proper print media storage, the following guidelines will help to avoid media feeding problems and uneven print quality.
l For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.
l Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.
l If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat surface so that the edges do not buckle or curl.
l Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.
