18 Print Media Guidelines
• Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. Dell recommends zone
coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material
contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.
• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be removed on
the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
• Remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside
the printer.
• Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
• Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
Storing Print Media
For proper print media storage, the following guidelines help avoid media feeding problems and
uneven print quality.
• For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately
21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.
• Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.
• If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, make sure they rest
on a flat surface so that the edges do not buckle or curl.
• Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.
