When printing on labels:
•
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the labels can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F) without
sealing, curling excessively, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the labels can withstand 25 psi (172 kPa) pressure without
delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes.
•
Do not use labels with slick backing material.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam.
• Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.
•
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die‑cuts on the label.
•
Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.)
away from the edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.
•
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and
use a non‑oozing adhesive.
•
Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes.
