• 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 inch) away from edges. Adhesive material will contaminate your printer and could void your
warranty.
• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3‑mm (0.125‑inch) strip should be removed on the leading and
driver edge, and a non‑oozing adhesive should be used.
• Remove a 3‑mm (0.125‑inch) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.
• Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
• Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
• Do not load a sheet of labels through the machine more than once.
• Load labels into the multipurpose feeder with the recommended print side faceup and the top edge entering the
printer first.
When printing on card stock:
• Set Paper Type to Card Stock from the printer driver.
• 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 creased card stock. It may cause paper jams.
• We recommend the use of grain short card stock.
• Load card stock into the multipurpose feeder with the recommended print side faceup and the top edge entering
the printer first.
