When printing on labels:
• From the operator panel or MarkVision Professional, set the Paper Type to Labels.
• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper source.
• To minimize curl, make sure the rear exit bin is open so the labels feed straight out the back of the printer.
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the die cut.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Partial
sheets will also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and
cartridge warranties.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 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. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive
at least 1 mm (0.040 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material will contaminate your printer and could void your
warranty.
• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be removed on the leading and
driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
• 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.
• For best results when using the multipurpose feeder, dual web and integrated labels should be fed paper end first.
• For best results when using the 250-sheet label tray, dual web and integrated labels should be fed label end first.
When printing on card stock:
• From the operator panel or MarkVision Professional, set the Paper Type to Card Stock.
• Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
• Do not use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams.
• To minimize curl, make sure the rear exit bin is open so the card stock feeds straight out the back of the printer.
• We recommend the use of grain short card stock.
Maintenance procedures
If the print quality begins to degrade when printing sheets of vinyl labels, we suggest you follow the three cleaning steps
below:
1
Print 5 sheets of paper.
2
Wait approximately 5 seconds.
3
Print 5 more sheets of paper.
To maintain printer feeding reliability, repeat this cleaning process every time you replace the print cartridge, more often
with some media. Failure to follow maintenance procedures could cause jamming, poor print quality, feeding problems, and
fuser problems.
