Chapter 2

Labels

The machine will print on most types of labels designed for use with a laser machine. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based since this material is more stable at the high temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the machine, because the label stock may stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels. Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire length and width of the sheet. Using labels with spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jams or print problems.

All labels used in this machine must be able to withstand a temperature of 392 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for a period of 0.1 seconds.

Types of labels to avoid

Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The exposed carrier sheet will damage your machine.

Label sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in this User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this specification may not feed or print correctly and may cause damage to your machine.

DO NOT reuse or insert labels that have previously been used or are missing a few labels on the sheet.
