Optra E, Ep
Limit label printing to occasional use of paper office labels designed for
laser printers. We do not recommend using vinyl or polyester labels.
The Optra E and Optra Ep support stocks up to 43 lb (163 g/m
2
). Tray 1 can
hold up to 10 sheets of card stock or labels.
The following table lists the maximum basis weights supported by tray 1 and
the manual feed slot.
For paper and transparency specifications, see the printer User’s Guide.
Maintenance procedures
If the print quality begins to degrade when printing sheets of vinyl labels, we suggest you follow the three cleaning steps
below:
1
Print 5 sheets of paper.
2
Wait approximately 5 seconds.
3
Print 5 more sheets of paper.
To maintain printer feeding reliability, repeat this cleaning process every time you replace the print cartridge, more often
with some media. Failure to follow maintenance procedures could cause jamming, poor print quality, feeding problems, and
fuser problems.
