Optra K 1220
Limit label printing to occasional use of paper office labels
designed for laser printers. We do not recommend using vinyl
or polyester labels or card stock with the Optra K 1220 printer.
Always feed labels from the manual feed tray or the optional
multipurpose feeder. The multipurpose feeder can hold up to
30 sheets of labels.
The following table lists the maximum basis weights
supported by each of the printer trays.
For paper and transparency specifications, refer to the printer Users Guide.
When printing on labels:
From the operator panel or from MarkVision, set the Paper Type to Labels. Set the Paper
Weight to either Normal or Heavy for optimum print quality.
To minimize curl, make sure the rear exit bin is open so the labels feed straight out the back of
the printer.
Do not print a large number of labels continuously.
Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive on the label sheets.
