Storing Print Media, Card Stock | Dell 1600n instruction

the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your multi- function printer and could void your warranty.

If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.

Remove a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the multi- function printer.

Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.

Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.

Card Stock

Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See "Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications" on page 57 for information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of print media.

Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the multi-function printer before purchasing a large quantity:

Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause print media handling or jamming problems.

Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.

Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the multi- function printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the multi-function printer.

We recommend the use of grain long card stock.

Storing Print Media

Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage. These help avoid print media feeding problems and uneven print quality:

For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21° C (70° F) and the relative humidity is 40%.

Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.

Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.
