Label Parameters
The 3130 can also print on paper face self-sticking adhesive-backed labels in
simplex mode. Because the use of labels may cause more problems than printing
on plain xerographic paper, IBM recommends that you and your label supplier
consider the following parameters when purchasing labels:
For more detailed information about paper, cardstock, labels, and other forms, refer
to the
Advanced Function Printer Cut-Sheet Paper Reference
.
Attention: When printing labels, observe the following:
Use only the base stacker or upper stacker. Using the side stacker for labels
may damage the printer.
Load labels face down in the upper sub tray, lower sub tray, or main tray.
Run labels only in simplex mode.
Before ordering large quantities of your labels, run several small jobs to be sure
they work properly.
Refer to
IBM 3130 Advanced Function Printer User's Guide

Prepunched Paper
Prepunched paper should be flat and without deformation. Discard paper with
ragged or damaged hole edges. Do not allow chad (the little paper bits that result
from punching) or paper dust to adhere to the paper.
Supplies with prepunched holes must conform to the following specifications:
Maximum of four holes
Maximum hole diameter of 10 mm (0.39 in.)
Holes may not be located in, or protrude into the area marked by the diagonal
lines in the following figures; otherwise, the paper sensor detects the holes and
may give false paper jam errors.
