Notes
Adhesive label stock in sizes letter or A4.
A label consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and a
carrier sheet
— The face sheet must follow to the plain paper specification listed on
“Paper Specifications” on page 3-4.
— The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no
adhesive should come through on the surface. Exposed adhesives
may stick to the transfer drum or the fixing roller, causing labels to peel
off and media jams to occur.
— The adhesive and carrier sheet must withstand the fusing temperature
(392° F/200° C).
Check your application documentation for other information on printing
labels.
