Guidelines
• Do not use vinyl labels.
• Print only on one side of the sheet of labels.
• Do not use any sheet where labels are missing; it may damage the printer.
• Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the sheets of labels inside the 
original packaging until ready to use. Return any unused sheets of labels to the original 
packaging and reseal it.
• Do not store labels in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold 
conditions. Storing them in extreme conditions may cause print-quality problems or 
cause them to jam in the printer.
• Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause labels 
to curl and jam the printer.
