Card Stock - Dell 2355dn User Manual

Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large
quantity:
• 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 180° C (356° F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Do not print within 0.04 in. (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. We recommend zone
coating of the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away from edges. Adhesive material
contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.
• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip should be removed
on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
• Remove a 0.125 in. (3 mm) 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.

Card Stock

Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content,
thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See "Identifying Print Media
Sources and Specifications" for information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of
print media.

large quantity:
• Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality
and cause print media handling or jamming problems.
• Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
• Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the
printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.
• We recommend the use of grain long card stock.
