* 150—250 Sheffield is optimal. Using media higher than 300 Sheffield could result in printing degradation.

Note: Always use the rear exit when printing on card stock. To minimize curl, use the rear exit when printing on labels.
When printing on labels:
• Set the Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver, the Local Printer Setup Utility, or MarkVision.
• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper source.
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the die cut.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Partial
sheets will also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge
warranties.
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
• Use labels that can withstand pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.
•
Do not use labels that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive at
least 1 mm (0.040 in.) from the edges. Adhesive material will contaminate the printer and could void the warranty.
• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be removed on the leading and
driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
• 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.
• For the multipurpose feeder, load labels with the recommended print side faceup and the top edge going in first.
For the tray, load labels with the recommended print side face down.
