DELL CONFIDENTIAL – PRELIMINARY 9/13/10 - FOR PROOF ONLY
NOTICE: Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended
that you try a sample first.
When printing on labels:
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) without
sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Set the paper type to
Label
from the printer driver.
• Use "Standard Tray" for label.
• Do not print through "Single Sheet Feeder" for label.
• Do not load labels together with paper in the same tray.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die-cut.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the
perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.
• Do not print a label through the printer more than once.
• Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
• Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during
printing, resulting in a jam.
• Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. It is
recommended that zone coating of the adhesive is done at least 1 mm (0.04
inches) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and
could void your warranty.
CAUTION: Otherwise the printer occur in a jam and contaminate your printer
and your cartridges with adhesive. As a result, could void your printer and cartridge
warranties.
Storing Print Media
For proper print media storage, the following guidelines will help to avoid
media feeding problems and uneven print quality.
• Store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately
21 °C (70 °F) and the relative humidity is 40 %.
• Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the
floor.
