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.
Summary
Your printer can accept a wide range of paper or card stock weights, but materials either too light or too heavy can cause
paper handling and print quality problems. Heavier weight materials can cause fusing problems because of the mass of
material the fuser must heat quickly. Heavy materials may also feed less reliably or skew because of their weight or
stiffness. Lighter materials can wrinkle or jam.
When you use preprinted forms, make sure the ink on the forms can withstand the printer fuser temperature of 200°C
(392°F); otherwise, you risk contaminating the printer or creating hazardous fumes.
