l Set the paper type to Label from the printer driver. l Do not load labels together with paper in the same tray. This may result in a jam. l Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material. l Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die cut. l 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. l Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. l Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label. l 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 inches) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty. l If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 inches) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used. l Remove a 3 mm (0.125 inches) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer. l Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes. l 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. l For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%. l Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor. l If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat surface so that the edges do not buckle or curl. l Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.
