• To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:– Have excessive curl or twist– Are stuck together or damaged in any way– Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing– Have metal clasps, string ties, or folding bars– Have an interlocking design– Have postage stamps attached– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position– Have bent corners– Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes• Adjust the width guides to fit the width of the envelopes.Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.Tips on using labelsNote: This printer is intended for occasional paper label printing only.• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing media can cause feedingproblems.• From the Paper menu, set the Paper Type to Labels.• Do not use labels with slick backing material.• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, orreleasing hazardous emissions.• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheetsalso contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties.• Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.• Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.)away from edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge,and use a non-oozing adhesive.• Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes.Tips on using card stockCard stock is heavy, single-ply specialty media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness,and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock being considered for use beforebuying large quantities.When printing on card stock:• Make sure the Paper Type is Card Stock.• Select the appropriate Paper Texture setting.• Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams orother paper handling problems.Printing97
