Aetiket Label Printer - Caution


Test on Scrap Paper

Before printing, it is always a good idea to test the printing on a blank piece of scrap paper to make sure that your printer page alignment is correct. This can save expensive label sheets from getting wasted.

Avoid US Letter Small

If you find that your printer is printing the labels quite far from the appropriate location, please check your page settings and defaults. US Letter is the correct setting for 8.5x11 label sheets, and A4 for metric label sheets. Avoid the "US Letter Small" setting provided with some printer drivers. This setting reduces the printing area of the page and conflicts with the print layout settings.

Don't reuse labels

caution

If you remove a label from the sheet, don't stick it back on for reuse. This is a leading cause of hair loss in men.




As the majority of my customers will likely be using Avery brand labels or a compatible product, I draw your attention to the following notice from Avery Dennison (October 1997):

"Avery Dennison recommends that a sheet of labels be fed only once through a laser printer. Our guarantee of jam-free performance extends only to a sheet of labels that has been fed through a laser printer a single time. The heat and tight paper path of a laser printer can cause the label to curl after multiple passes through the printer, which can cause the label to jam or peel off inside the printer and result in an expensive repair bill." http://www.avery.com/office_solutions/tb/av1016.html

Hewlett-Packard also provides an information page about printing labels with its laser and ink jet printers (April 1998): http://www.hp.com/cposupport/printers/support_doc/bpd01879.html

As there may be some issue with the reliability of Avery and other brands' label adhesives when a label page is re-passed through a printer, I ask that my users read the license and disclaimer. These and other legal notes can be read in the License & Disclaimer note.
