• Certain materials used in label construction, which have liner face melt temperatures lower than the fuser temperature, may require the leading and trailing edge stripped areas to be 1.6 mm maximum due to feeding problems. • It is preferred that the liner face be constructed with material that can withstand our fuser temperatures, which eliminates the need for changing the stripped areas from 3 mm to 1.6 mm. • If a 1.6-mm stripped area is used, it is very important that the 1.6-mm tolerance be held tightly. With a stripped area of less than 1.6 mm, it is highly possible that adhesive contamination will occur. • Vinyls are non-absorbing, which leads to toner build-up in the fuser that requires special maintenance. See the documentation that came with your printer for specific information about maintaining your printer. Vinyls may require a topcoat to ensure good toner adhesion. • Polyester labels are less heat-sensitive but are also non-absorbing. Backings for polyester labels can be thinner, but requirements for coatings and cleaning are similar to vinyl labels. • It is recommended that when you run vinyl labels, you install a special oil fuser cleaner, P/N 99A0725 or 40X2665. When you order a new cartridge, be sure to order the cartridge that will include the correct fuser cleaner. Integrated forms • To create integrated forms, the converter uses hot melt adhesives to apply the label adhesive and liner to a base material (generally paper). • Oil bleed, recognizable by a discolored face sheet, can be a problem with these forms. Oil may also migrate from the top of the liner to the back surface of the liner while it is on the roll, before the conversion process takes place. • The forms created from this material may then be slick, and the pick mechanism of your printer may be unable to successfully move all the sheets from the tray into the printer. Jamming and misfeeds increase when oil is present on the back of the liner. • The adhesive on these forms is commonly patterned on two or four sides (that is, the forms have a non-adhesive border on either two or four edges). We recommend designing a 1-mm (0.04-in.) non-adhesive border (zone coated) on all four edges. • When printing on integrated forms with a grain long base material, orient the form in the tray so the paper portion of the form feeds into the printer first. Orient the pressure-sensitive portion of the form toward the portrait left edge. • For integrated forms with a grain short base material, orient the form in the tray so the pressure-sensitive portion feeds into the printer first. • Due to the unique construction of integrated forms, you may experience stacking problems in the output bin. Contact your Lexmark marketing representative if you experience stacking problems with these forms. Note: Test some forms before purchasing large quantities. Labels 29
