Adhesive Labels
An adhesive label is paper with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. Label stock
consists of three components: the top or face sheet, the adhesive, and the liner or carrier
sheet, sometimes referred to as the backing. Note the following points about label
stock:
When exposed to the heat of the fuser, the label stock should not curl
significantly, and the adhesive should remain stable so that it does not release any
hazardous emissions. Refer to “Paper Fusing” on page C-5 for more information.
No adhesive should be exposed between the labels or along the edge of the label
backing.
Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles or any indication of delamination.
Fan the label stock before loading it into the tray.
Do not use label stock when printing in duplex mode.
Do not use label stock that has some of the labels removed.
Purchase minimum quantities of label stock to avoid the need to store it for longer
than 6 months from the date of manufacture.
Test any label stock you are considering to verify its performance in your printer.
CAUTION!
Adhesive that comes in contact with the printer may contaminate the
photoconductor and the internal printer mechanism. To test label stock for
adhesive exposure, press a sheet of plain paper against a sheet of label
stock. The plain paper should not adhere to the label stock at all.
