Labels
A sheet of labels consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and 
a carrier sheet:
„The face sheet must follow the plain paper specification.
„The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no adhe-
sive should come through on the surface.
You can print continuously with label sheets. However, this could affect the 
media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If 
problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one...

What Is the Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area?
The printable area on all media sizes is 
up to 4 mm (0.157) from the edges of 
the media.
Each media size has a specific image-
able area, the maximum area on which 
the printer can print clearly and without 
distortion. 
This area is subject to both hardware 
limits (the physical media size and the 
margins required by the printer) and 
software constraints (the amount of 
memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed...
