Labels 22 Load label sheets with the label end first. Use grain long paper instead of grain short paper, which tends to curl easily. If a converter develops a grain short label sheet for duplexing, then test the sheet first to make sure it works satisfactorily. Note: We recommend testing any material with your application and printer before purchasing large quantities. To use the duplex label application, you must install a special fuser wiper.

Primary rib pattern design guidelines for reference edge alignment The function of the primary rib pattern is to provide the best support to the media during transport. If it is known that the media will be touching a certain surface, then that surface must contain the primary rib pattern. The feed path should guide the leading edge of the media into the primary guide surface and not the secondary surface. This provides a determinate location for the leading edge of the media on the guide surface that provides the best support. The incidence angle of the leading edge of the media as it touches the primary guide surface should be no more than 30°. This eliminates media stubbing on the guides and reduces the amount of energy input into the media by the guide. The primary rib pattern is to have the rib support extending out to between 3 to 10 mm from the edge of the paper and 2 to 10 mm from the edge of the envelopes. This keeps the corners of the media stiff so that it cannot fold and catch other surfaces in the printer. It also prevents the corners of the media from catching the inside surface of a paper path rib. The primary rib pattern should not have any ribs closer than 3 mm to the outside edge of paper and envelopes. This keeps the media from stubbing into a rib that is too close to the edge of the media. The maximum rib spacing of the primary rib pattern should not be greater than 20 mm. This keeps the leading edge of the media flat as it moves through the system.
