Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the die cut.
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam.
Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your
printer and cartridge warranties.
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°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. Dell recommends zone coating of
the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates 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.
Storing Print Media
For proper print media storage, the following guidelines help avoid media feeding problems and uneven print
quality.
For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C
(70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.
Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.
If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat
surface so that the edges do not buckle or curl.
Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.
