Card stock and label guidelines
When printing on labels:
• Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.
• Use only label sheets that have no gaps between the labels.
Acceptable labels
Unacceptable labels
• From the printer control panel or from MarkVision Professional, set Paper Type to Labels.
• Do not print a large number of labels continuously.
• Do not use labels that have coating or sizing applied to make the labels liquid‑resistant.
• Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive on the label sheets.
• Run the labels only once through the printer as this may contaminate the printer.
