Card stock and label guidelines When printing on labels: • Set Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver. • Use A4- or letter-size paper. • Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material. • Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 inch) of the die-cut. • Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Partial sheets will also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge warranties. • Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 180°C (356°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. • Verify that the adhesive material of the label can tolerate a fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 second. • Use labels that can withstand pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). • Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 inch) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.
