Labels
If you need to print labels, use paper labels designed for laser
printers. Use only label sheets that have no gaps between the
labels, as shown at left. Try a sample of any labels before pur-
chasing a large quantity.
Labels must be able to withstand temperatures of 195°C (383°F)
without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous
emissions. Labels must also withstand 25 psi of pressure. For
detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and
design, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide on the printer CD.
Only feed labels from the multipurpose feeder. Do not load
labels in the trays. Refer to the Setup Guide for loading instruc-
tions.
When printing on labels:
• Use only paper labels. Do not use vinyl labels.
• Do not print a large number of labels consecutively.
• Do not use labels that have adhesive exposed on the
sheets.
• Do not use labels that have coating or sizing applied to
make the labels liquid-resistant.
• From the operator panel or from MarkVision, set the
Paper Type to Labels.
Card stock
Note:
Load card stock in the
multipurpose feeder only. Do not
load more than 30 sheets of
card stock into the multipurpose
feeder. Loading more than 30
sheets of card stock or using the
wrong paper source may cause
paper jams or a failure to feed.
You can load a small quantity of heavier paper in the mul-
tipurpose feeder. The properties of the card stock you
choose—such as the orientation of the paper fibers, mois-
ture content, thickness, and texture—can affect the print
quality. For for optimum results, we recommend using:
• Springhill Index Plus 90 lb card stock
For more information on card stock your printer supports, refer
to the Card Stock & Label Guide on the printer CD.
Always set the Paper Type to Card Stock when printing on
heavier paper. The printer then adjusts the fuser tempera-
ture and engine speed to ensure the best print quality.
