All stock must be converted to 8.5 width roll with 12" outer diameter on a 3" ID core.

If you are not using approved media, it should have the following characteristics.

Paper Type

The CX1200 can only print on Laser Printer approved materials. The label manufacturers specifications will always say whether material is laser approved. If it does not say laser approved it probably is not laser-approved. Be sure that the laser approval applies to the face stock material, the adhesive and the liner. Stocks must be laser approved because the fuser roller contacts the paper at 356 F / 180 C. At this temperature facestock or liner material could melt or burn. Non-laser-approved adhesives could lose adhesion.

Do NOT attempt to print onto non laser-approved materials. Damage to your printer may result which will not be covered under your limited warranty. POLYPROPYLENE AND SOME OTHER SYNTHETIC MATERIALS WILL MELT. Do not ever attempt to print onto polypropylene or any other similar low-temp substrates.

Polyester and Paper generally will perform well in the CX1200.

Thickness

Mil = 2 - 6

Caliper(Inches) = .002 - .006

Millimeters = .0508 - .15

Grams/sq meter = 34 - 116

Paper stock in the above range will feed through the CX1200 printer with out problems. Depending upon operating environment, Polyester stocks in this range will also feed through the printer with out problems. However, 2-3 mil Polyester does curl as it exits the printer. In more humid environ- ments this curling becomes more severe and could cause the paper to jam before it enters the fuser. Stock thicker than 6 mill will intermittently jam before entering the fuser. This can be solved by attaching a thinner leader material to the thicker stock.

When testing other media consider the following additional criteria: 1 Print Quality / Poor Transfer - See Note 1.

2.Color Accuracy

3.Solid Color Saturation

4.Label Feed (Requires minimum 100 feet of test paper)

5.Label Wrap
