Media specifications and guidelines • Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between diecuts of the label. • Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your MFP and could void your warranty. • If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used. • Remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the MFP. • Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes. • Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive. MFP maintenance when printing on labels After continuously printing approximately 10,000 pages of labels (or each time you replace the print cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain MFP feeding reliability: 1 Print 5 sheets of paper. 2 Wait approximately 5 seconds. 3 Print 5 more sheets of paper.

Print media specifications and guidelines

Media specifications and guidelines

•

Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-

cuts of the label.

•

Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone

coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material

contaminates your MFP and could void your warranty.

•

If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be removed on

the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.

•

Remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside

the MFP.

•

Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.

•

Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.

MFP maintenance when printing on labels

After continuously printing approximately 10,000 pages of labels (or each time you replace the print

cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain MFP feeding reliability:

Print 5 sheets of paper.

Wait approximately 5 seconds.

Print 5 more sheets of paper.

Card stock

Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the orientation of paper fibers

and texture, that can significantly affect the print quality.

You may only print card stock from the multipurpose feeder. Card stock must always exit to the rear

output bin.

Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the MFP before purchasing a large

quantity.

See

Specifications for print media

for information on the preferred weight of print media.

When printing on card stock:

•

Set the

Paper Type

to Card Stock from the print driver,

MarkVision Professional, the

control

panel

, or the Web pages.

•

Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the

MFP. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components in the MFP.

•

Do not use card stock that is perforated or creased. It may cause print media jams.

•

We recommend the use of grain short card stock.
