Optra K 1220

Limit label printing to occasional use of paper office labels designed for
laser printers. We do not recommend using vinyl or polyester labels

card

stock with the Optra K 1220 printer.

Always

feed labels from the manual feed tray or the optional multipurpose

feeder. The multipurpose feeder can hold up to 30 sheets of labels.

The following table lists the maximum basis weights supported by each of
the printer trays.

For paper and transparency specifications, see the printer

User’s Guide

When printing on labels:

•

From the operator panel or from MarkVision, set the Paper Type to Labels. Set the Paper Weight to either Normal
or Heavy for optimum print quality.

•

To minimize curl, make sure the rear exit bin is open so the labels feed straight out the back of the printer.

•

Do not print a large number of labels continuously.

•

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