•
Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelope.
•
Load only one envelope at a time.
•
A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.
Labels
The printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers, except for vinyl labels. 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 210°C (410°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity.
Note: Labels are one of the most difficult print media for laser printers. The printer has been designed for
occasional paper label printing. Printing large amounts of labels can degrade print quality and may
damage the printer.
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.
•
Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
•
Do not use vinyl labels.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets
also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties.
•
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 210°C (410°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. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm
(0.04 in.) away from edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the
warranty.
•
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and
use a non-oozing adhesive.
•
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.
