A Word About Labels
For best results, we recommend the use of PTS Connect printer labels. Other brands may
not be engineered to provide optimum, trouble-free results with your printer; therefore,
they may not work with your printer or they may damage it and void your warranty.
The printer labels have a sensor mark on
the backing of each label for top-of-label
alignment. Check to be sure the labels have
this mark before loading them into the printer.
Caring for Labels
The labels are sensitive to heat, moisture,
and light. With this in mind:
• Store labels in a cool, dry place.
• Do not scratch or rub labels with a hard
object.
• Do not expose labels to high heat or direct light for an extended period of time.
• Keep organic solvents away from labels.
