When printing on labels:
•
Set the Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver, the Local Printer Setup Utility, or MarkVision.
•
Do
not
load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper source.
•
Do
not
use label sheets with a slick backing material.
•
Do
not
print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the die cut.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Partial
sheets will also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and
cartridge warranties.
•
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
•
Use labels that can withstand pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
•
Do
not
print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.
•
Do
not
use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive
at least 1 mm (0.040 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material will contaminate your printer and could void your
warranty.
•
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a non-oozing adhesive should be used. Unlike other printers, do
not
remove the leading or driver edge.
•
Test any perferated card stock or paper before purchasing large quantities. The perferation locations may impact
printer reliability
•
Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
•
Do
not
use labels that have exposed adhesive.
•
For the multipurpose feeder, load labels with the recommended print side faceup and the top edge going in first.
For the tray, load labels with the recommended print side face down.
When printing on card stock:
•
Set the Paper Type to Card Stock from the printer driver, the Local Printer Setup Utility, or MarkVision.
•
Do
not
use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting
introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.
•
Do
not
use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams.
•
We recommend the use of grain short card stock.
•
Load card stock with the recommended print side faceup and the top edge going in first.
Maintenance procedures
When any of the following conditions occur:
•
after continuously printing approximately 10,000 pages of labels or card stock
•
the print cartridge is replaced
•
the print quality begins to degrade
we suggest you follow the three cleaning steps below to maintain printer feeding reliability:
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.
