Printer specifications
Card stock and label guidelines
When printing on labels:
•
Set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu.
•
Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the die-cut, the edge of the label or the perforations, or between the die-
cuts.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam.
• 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 the edges. Adhesive material may contaminate your printer and could void your
warranty.
When printing on card stock:
•
Set the Paper Type to Card Stock.
•
Do not use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams.
• We recommend the use of grain long card stock.
