•
Format coated stock in your application and run a plain paper
test print to check layout and alignment before running on more
expensive coated stock.
•
Avoid handling coated stock excessively to prevent fingerprints
and scratches.
•
Keep the paper path clean (see chapter 9); dust or dirt can scratch
coated stock and reduce print quality.
•
Load up to 50 sheets of coated stock (depending on the stock's
thickness) in the standard paper cassette.
•
Load fewer sheets of coated stock if jams occur. The weight of a
stack of coated stock could cause the sheets to stick together.
•
Remove each sheet as it is printed to help prevent static buildup.
•
Do not fan coated stock. This causes static buildup which can
cause jams.
Coverstock Printing
Always use the standard upper cassette and follow these guidelines
when printing labels.
•
Make sure coverstock meets the requirements in "Guidelines for
Selecting and Storing Media" earlier in this chapter.
•
Make sure that you select Coverstock in the front panel Media
Type menu.
•
Load up to 50 sheets of coverstock (depending on the stock's
thickness) in the standard paper cassette.
•
Format coverstock in your application and run a plain paper test
print to check layout and alignment before running on more
expensive coverstock.
•
Do not overfill the paper cassette. Use the guide on the inside
left of the cassette to determine the appropriate stack height.
