Label design guidelines Using cut sheet labels with adhesive applied to the edge of the sheet will contaminate your printer and your cartridge and could void your printer and cartridge warranties. When using pressure-sensitive materials without zone coating, choose butt cut labels without any stringers and with a stripped edge matrix. If a total strip matrix is in the design for the final product, print before removing the matrix. If the matrix must be removed before printing, round all corners and make sure adhesive is not exposed. Figure 3 on page 18 illustrates a recommended label design for Optra plus printers as well as the 4039, 4029, and 4019 laser printers. The Non-print area may vary, depending on the printer model. Figure 4 on page 19 illustrates a recommended label design for Optra S, Optra T, and Lexmark T laser printers, which use a different paper picking mechanism.

Label design guidelines
Using cut sheet labels with adhesive applied to the edge of the sheet will contaminate your printer and your cartridge and
could void your printer and cartridge warranties.
When using pressure-sensitive materials without zone coating, choose butt cut labels without any stringers and with a
stripped edge matrix. If a total strip matrix is in the design for the final product, print before removing the matrix. If the matrix
must be removed before printing, round all corners and make sure adhesive is not exposed.

laser printers. The Non-print area may vary, depending on the printer model.

illustrates a recommended label design for Optra S, Optra T, and Lexmark T laser printers, which use
a different paper picking mechanism.
