Card stock Weight:
Note: To minimize curl, use the rear exit when printing on card stock and labels.
When printing on labels:
•
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the labels can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F)
without sealing, curling excessively, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the labels can withstand 25 psi (172 kPa) pressure without
delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes.
•
Do not use labels with slick backing material.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam.
•
Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.
•
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts on the label.
•
Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.)
away from the edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.
•
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge,
and use a non-oozing adhesive.
•
Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes.
When printing on card stock:
•
Make sure the Paper Type is Card Stock.
•
Select the Paper Texture setting.
•
Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or
other paper handling problems.
•
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the card stock can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F)
without releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Do not use preprinted card stock manufacturer with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
•
Use grain short card stock when possible.
