• 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 manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
•
Use grain short card stock when possible.
