Tips on using labels

Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.

Notes:

•

Paper, dual-web paper, polyester, and vinyl labels are supported.

•

When using the duplex unit, specially-designed, integrated, and dual-web paper labels are supported.

•

Printing labels requires a special label fuser cleaner which is included with the special cartridge required for label

applications. For more information, see “Ordering supplies” on page 253.

For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the

Card Stock & Label Guide

available on

the Lexmark Web site at

www.lexmark.com/publications

When printing on labels:

•

Feed labels from a 250-sheet tray, a 550-sheet tray, or the multipurpose feeder.

•

Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that:

–

The labels can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or

releasing hazardous emissions.

–

Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 25 psi (172 kPa) pressure

without delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes.

•

Do not use labels with slick backing material.

•

Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets

also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties.

•

Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.

•

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.

•

Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.)

away from edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.

•

If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 1.6-mm (0.06-in.) strip on the leading and driver edge,

and use a non-oozing adhesive.

•

Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes.

Tips on using card stock

Card stock is heavy, single-ply specialty media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness,

and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before

buying large quantities.

When printing on card stock:

•

Feed card stock from a 250-sheet tray, a 550-sheet tray, or the multipurpose feeder.

•

Make sure the Paper Type is Card Stock.

•

Select the appropriate Paper Texture setting.
