•
Use only label sheets that have no gaps between the labels.
•
From the operator panel or from MarkVision Professional, set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu.

Do not print a large number of labels continuously.
• Do not use labels that have coating or sizing applied to make the labels liquid-resistant.
• Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive on the label sheets.
• We recommend using Avery paper labels.
