Labels

When selecting labels, consider the quality of the following factors:

●Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s maximum temperature.

●Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

●Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any direction.

●Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation. Never use a sheet of labels that has already been run through the printer.

Transparencies

Transparencies must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s maximum temperature.
