5.4 Label Specifications
A label consists of a face sheet, an adhesive sheet, and a carrier sheet.
The face sheet (or printing surface) is usually composed of photocopying
paper and should meet the same specifications for paper as described in
Table 5–2. The carrier sheet and adhesive used for the labels must also be
able to meet the heat tolerance specification of 150°C (302°F) for at least
0.1 second.
CAUTION: Exposed adhesive on labels can cause damage to the printer. An
easy way to test for adhesive that may be exposed is to press a plain piece
of paper on top of the sheet of labels. If the paper sticks to the labels, you
should not use those labels.
Figure 5–1 shows the types of labels that are unacceptable.
