B.1.3.5 Requirements for Size of Continuous Label Paper

To prevent the print head from sticking to the adhesive agent, be sure to use continuous label paper that has a cut-off edge.

Note:

“cut-off edge” is a method of cutting and removing the edge of the label in advance so that the label can be peeled off easily from the backing paper.

Requirements for Size of Label Paper of the Cut-Off Edge Type

Note:

When using a label with 80 mm {3.15"} paper width, the cut-off edge (b) is not necessary; however, it is recommended that cut-off edges with approximately 2 mm {0.79"} width be provided for both edges so that the label can be peeled off easily from the backing paper.
