5.4.1 Special Considerations When Printing on Labels
Observe the following requirements when printing on labels:
• Labels are usually fed manually. If you are feeding labels from a cassette, be sure they are
•Be sure that the carrier sheet is not exposed.
•Be sure that no adhesive is exposed.
•Use the rear output tray.
5.5 Paper Handling and Storage
Although you may be using paper that meets all specifications, improper handling and storage may affect the quality of the paper and the performance of the printer. Improper storage and handling can cause paper jams, misfeeding, and other printer performance problems.
Follow the recommendations in this section on paper storage and handling to reduce the possibility of printer jams and misfeeds.
5.5.1 Paper Handling
Observe the following requirements when handling paper:
•Load the cassette to its proper capacity rather than adding small amounts at a time. Loading small amounts of paper can cause jams because of air pockets created between small stacks of paper.
•When you unwrap a new package of paper, discard the top and bottom sheets, as they tend to absorb the most humidity from the surrounding environment.
•Check to see that the paper is loaded with the correct side up. Some packages of paper have an arrow on the label that points in the direction of the top side of the paper. Load paper with this top side up.
If there is no arrow on the label, check the paper for curl. If a small amount of curl is present, fan the paper in the opposite direction of the curl to remove as much of the curl as possible.
•Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 to properly load paper.
