Labels
The MFP 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 230°C (446°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch
(psi).
Try a sample of any labels you are considering using with the MFP before purchasing a large
quantity.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, contact the place where you
bought your MFP.
When printing on labels:
•
Set the Paper Size/Type menu item to Labels in the Paper menu. You can set the Paper Size/
Type from the MFP control panel, the MFP driver, or from MarkVision Professional.
•
Do not load labels with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing print media can
cause feeding problems and print quality problems.
•
Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a
jam. Partial sheets also contaminate the MFP and your cartridge with adhesive, and could
void the MFP and cartridge warranties.
•
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) 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 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material
contaminates the MFP and could void the warranty.
•
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 1.6 mm (0.1 in.) strip should be removed on
the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
•
Remove a 1.6 mm (0.1 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside
the MFP.
•
Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
•
Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
Card stock
Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness,
and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See
the preferred weight and for the grain direction of print media.
