Labels
These labels are supplied in letter size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and
topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
Try a sample of any labels considered for use with the printer before purchasing a large quantity.
Note: This printer is intended for occasional paper label printing only.
When printing on labels:
•
Set the Paper Type menu item to Labels in the Paper Menu. Set the Paper Type from the printer operator panel,
the printer driver, or from MarkVision Professional.
•
Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing media can cause feeding
problems.
•
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 the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties.
•
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°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. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm
(0.04 in.) away from edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the
warranty.
•
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and
use a non-oozing adhesive.
•
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.
