Labels
Your machine can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. 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 205°C (401°F) and pressure
of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). You can load one label sheet.
Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the machine before purchasing a
large quantity:
• You may feed vinyl labels from the standard 250-sheet Tray1, or the optional 250-sheet
Tray2.
• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing
print media can cause feeding problems.
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
• Do not print within 0.04 in. (1 mm) 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 your machine and your cartridge
with adhesive, and could void your machine and cartridge warranties.
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing,
excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Do not print within 0.04 in. (1 mm) 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. We recommend
zone coating of the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away from edges. Adhesive
material contaminates your machine and could void your warranty.
• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip should be
removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
• Remove a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling
inside the machine.
• Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
• Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
