Transparency

Transparency must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. It should satisfy the conditions in Table B.3.

Table B.3 Transparency Specifications

Item	Specification

Tolerance of heat	Must tolerate at least 190°C (374°F)

Thickness	0.100 to 0.110 mm (3.9 to 4.3 mils)

Dimensional accuracy	±0.7 mm (±0.0276 in)

Squareness of corners	90° ±0.2°

To avoid trouble, Transparency must be delivered face-up.

If Transparency jams frequently, pull the top of the sheet very gently as it leaves the printer.

Adhesive-Backed Labels

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the printer. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the printer.

Label paper must be manually fed.

Label paper has a structure comprising three lay- ers, as shown in Figure B.1. The top sheet is printed on. The adhesive layer consists of pres- sure-sensitive adhesives. The carrier sheet (also called the linear or backing sheet) holds the labels until use. Due to the complexity of its composi- tion, adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give trouble in printing.

Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no spaces between the individ- ual labels. Labels with spaces in between are apt to peel off, causing serious jam problems.

Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheet around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet until after printing is finished.
