Label specifications
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
● Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200 degrees C (392 degrees F),
which is the printer’s fusing temperature.
● Arrangement: Only use labels that have no exposed backing between them. Labels can
peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing jams.
● Curl: Before printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any
direction.
● Condition: Do not use labels that have wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
Note Use only tray 1 to print on labels. Send labels straight through the printer, entering at tray 1 and
exiting from the rear output bin
CAUTION To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels that are recommended for laser printers.
Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once or print on a partial sheet of labels.
Description Specification
Adhesive Adhesive must not be on any external surfaces of the label before, during, or
after printing. Label construction and die-cutting must not allow labels to peel off
during transport, printing, or fusing.
Caliper Caliper must not exceed 0.19 mm (0.007 inch). See “Caliper field test” on
page 46.
Curl In ream: flat within 13 mm (0.5 inch). See “Curl field test” on page 47.
Surface resistivity 2.0 to 15 by 10 to the 10th ohm squared. See “Fusing-compatibility field test” on
page 48.
Volume resistivity 1.2 to 15 by 10 to the 11th ohm-centimeter. See “Fusing-compatibility field test”
on page 48.
Finishing precision Cut sheet within 0.79 mm (0.031 inch) of nominal and +0.20 degrees square.
Fusing compatibility All adhesives, carrier sheets, top sheets, and other materials that are used in
label construction must be compatible with the heat and pressure of the fusing
process. Materials must not discolor, melt, offset materials, or release hazardous
emissions when heated to 200 degrees C (392 degrees F) for 0.1 second. See
“Fusing-compatibility field test” on page 48.
Packaging Store in moisture-proof wrap to preserve properties.
Shelf life One year, maximum, stored at 22 degrees C (72 degrees F) and 50 percent
relative humidity.
