Transparencies
Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of printing. Transparencies must meet the following
conditions.
To avoid trouble, be sure to load transparencies in portrait orientation (i.e., the longer edge facing the machine).
If transparencies jam frequently at output, try pulling the leading edge of sheets gently as they are ejected.
Labels
Be sure to feed labels from the multipurpose tray
For selecting labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive may not come in direct contact with any part of the
machine and that the labels are not easily peeled from the carrier sheet. Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers
and peeled labels remaining in the machine may cause a failure.
When printing onto labels, you must be liable for the print quality and possible trouble.
Labels consist of three layers as shown in the illustration. The adhesive layer contains materials that are easily
affected by the force applied in the machine. The carrier sheet bears the top sheet until the label is used. This
composition of labels may cause more problems.
The label surface must be covered completely with the top sheet. Gaps between labels may cause peeling of
labels, resulting in a serious failure.
Some label paper has large margins on the top sheet. When using such paper, do not peel these margins from
the carrier sheet before completing output.

Thickness 0.100 to 0.110 mm
