    Condition paper while it is still in the original wrapper. To condition it, store it in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before printing to let the paper stabilize in the new conditions. Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very different from the printer environment.

  • Page 18 When printing on labels: • Set the Paper Type menu item to Labels in the Paper menu. Set the Paper Type from the printer control panel, the printer driver, or from MarkVision Professional. • Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing media can cause feeding problems.
