Printer specifications 108 Card stock and label guidelines When printing on labels: • Set the Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver. • Use standard‑size products (either A4 or Letter). • Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material. • Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) 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 your label adhesive material 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 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 (0.040 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material will contaminate your printer 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 printer. • Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes. • Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive. • Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged. • Do not load a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. • Load labels into the manual bypass feeder with the recommended print side faceup and the top edge going in first. When printing on card stock: • Set the Paper Type to Card Stock from the printer driver. • Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting introduces semi‑liquid and volatile components into the printer. • Do not use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams. • We recommend the use of grain short card stock. • Load card stock into the manual bypass feeder with the recommended print side faceup and the top edge going in first.
