Labels

Your machine can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers.
Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand
temperatures of 205°C and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). It is recommended
that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any print media.
When printing on labels:
• Set the paper type to [Label] from the printer driver.
• Do not load labels together with paper in the same tray. This may result in a jam.
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
• Do not print within 1 mm 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 machine and your cartridge with adhesive,
and could void your machine and cartridge warranties.
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C without sealing, excessive curling,
wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Do not print within 1 mm 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. It is recommended
that zone coating of the adhesive is at least 1 mm away from edges. Adhesive material
contaminates your machine and could void your warranty.
• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm strip should be removed on the
leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
• Remove a 3 mm strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the
machine.
• 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 and the relative humidity is 40%.
• Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

• You can load envelopes also on the Tray 1. For more information, see "Loading an Envelope in Trays 1
to 4" (P.209).
