OPERATION GUIDEAppendix-17
When printing onto labels, you must be liable for the print quality and possible trouble.
Labels consist of three layers as shown in the 
illustration. The adhesive layer contains materials that 
are easily affected by the force applied in the machine. 
The carrier sheet bears the top sheet until the label is 
used. This composition of  labels may cause more 
problems.
The label surface must be co vered completely with the 
top sheet. Gaps between labels may cause peeling of 
labels, resulting in  a serious failure.
Some label paper has large margins on the top sheet. W hen using such paper, do not peel these margins from 
the carrier shee t before completing output.
Use label paper that conforms to the following  specifications. 
Colored Paper
Colored paper must conform to the spec ifications listed on the page 2 of the Appendix. In addition, the pigments 
in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of printing (up to 200°C or 392°F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper must conform to the sp ecifications listed on the page 2 of the Appendix. The colored ink must 
be able to withstand the heat of prin ting. It must be resistant to silicone oil as well. Do not use paper with a 
treated surface such as glossy paper used for calendars.
