Printing 92

•Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die‑cuts of the label.

•Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.

•If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, then remove a 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and use a non‑oozing adhesive.

•Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes.

Tips on using card stock

Card stock is heavy, single‑ply specialty media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness, and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before buying large quantities.

•From the Paper menu, set the Paper Type to Card Stock.

•Select the appropriate Paper Texture setting.

•Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or other paper handling problems.

•Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the card stock can withstand temperatures up to 220°C (446°F) without releasing hazardous emissions.

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

•Use grain short card stock when possible.

Printing confidential and other held jobs

Storing print jobs in the printer

You can set the printer to store print jobs in the printer memory until you start the print job from the printer control panel.

All print jobs that can be initiated by the user at the printer are called held jobs.

Note: Confidential, Verify, Reserve, and Repeat print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.

Print job type	Description
Confidential	Confidential lets you hold print jobs in the computer until you enter the PIN from
	the control panel.
	Note: The PIN is set from the computer. It must be four digits, using the
	numbers 0–9.
Verify	Verify lets you print one copy of a print job while the printer holds the remaining
	copies. It allows you to examine if the first copy is satisfactory. The print job is
	automatically deleted from the printer memory once all copies are printed.
Reserve	Reserve allows the printer to store print jobs for printing at a later time. The print
	jobs are held until deleted from the Help Jobs menu.
Repeat	Repeat prints and stores print jobs in the printer memory for reprinting.
