Labels
When selecting labels for printing, always choose labels
mounted on continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for
use with a tractor. Do not use labels on shiny single-sheet
backing, because the backing sheet tends to slip and may not
feed properly.
c
Caution:
Use labels only under normal operating conditions because
labels are especially sensitive to temperature and humidity.
