Media guidelines

Labels

If you occasionally need to print labels, use paper labels

designed for laser printers. Use only label sheets that have

no gaps between the labels, as shown at left. Try a sample

of any labels you are considering using with the printer

before purchasing a large quantity.

Labels must be able to withstand temperatures of 195°C

(383°F) and pressure of 25 psi. For detailed information on

label printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the

Card

Stock & Label Guide

on the printer CD.

Only feed labels from the multipurpose feeder. Do not

load labels in the trays. Refer to the

Setup Guide

for loading

instructions.

When printing on labels:

•

Use only paper labels. Do not use vinyl labels.

•

Do not print a large number of labels continuously.

•

Do not use labels that have adhesive exposed on the

sheets.

•

Do not use labels that have coating or sizing applied

to make the labels liquid-resistant.

•

To minimize curl, use the rear output bin so the

labels feed straight out the back of the printer.

•

From the operator panel or from MarkVision, set the

Paper Type to Labels.

Card stock

You can load a small quantity of heavier paper in the mul-

tipurpose feeder. To minimize curl, use the rear output bin

so the paper feeds straight out the back of the printer.

The properties of the card stock you choose—such as the

orientation of the paper fibers, moisture content, thick-

ness, and texture—can affect print quality. For more infor-

mation on the types of card stock your printer supports,

refer to the

Card Stock & Label Guide

on the printer CD.

Always set the Paper Type to Card Stock when printing on

heavier paper. The printer then adjusts the fuser tempera-

ture and engine speed to ensure the best print quality.
