The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams [...]

Label construction When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component: ● Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200C (392F), the printer's fusing temperature. ● Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams. ● Cur[...]
