When printing on labels:
•
Set the Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver, in the Local Printer Setup Utility, or from
MarkVision.
•
You may feed vinyl labels from the 250-sheet tray and the multipurpose feeder.
•
Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper source.
•
Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
•
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the die cut.
•
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.
•
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-
cuts of the label.
•
Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone
coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material
contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.
•
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be removed on
the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
•
Remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside
the printer.
•
Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
•
Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
