Acceptable labels

Unacceptable labels

Labels If you need to print labels, use paper labels designed for laser printers. Use only label sheets that have no gaps between the labels, as shown at left. Try a sample of any labels before pur- chasing a large quantity.

Labels must be able to withstand temperatures of 195°C (383°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. Labels must also withstand 25 psi of pressure. For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide on the printer CD.

Only feed labels from the multipurpose feeder. Do not load labels in the trays. Refer to the Setup Guide for loading instruc- tions.

When printing on labels:

•Use only paper labels. Do not use vinyl labels.

•Do not print a large number of labels consecutively.

•Do not use labels that have adhesive exposed on the sheets.

•Do not use labels that have coating or sizing applied to make the labels liquid-resistant.

•From the operator panel or from MarkVision, set the Paper Type to Labels.

Note: Load card stock in the multipurpose feeder only. Do not load more than 30 sheets of card stock into the multipurpose feeder. Loading more than 30 sheets of card stock or using the wrong paper source may cause paper jams or a failure to feed.

You can load a small quantity of heavier paper in the mul- tipurpose feeder. The properties of the card stock you choose—such as the orientation of the paper fibers, mois- ture content, thickness, and texture—can affect the print quality. For for optimum results, we recommend using:

•Springhill Index Plus 90 lb card stock

For more information on card stock your printer supports, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide on the printer CD.

Always set the Paper Type to Card Stock when printing on heavier paper. The printer then adjusts the fuser tempera- ture and engine speed to ensure the best print quality.
