* This is the recommended maximum. There are two factors that determine whether the printer will accept any particular stock thickness.

  1. The ability for the printer to pull the paper through the printer area.
  2. The ability for the sensor to read through the backing if the sensor is set to die-cut.

** The Reflective/Black Mark should be opaque to infrared light. The mark should be between the labels. The end of the mark should correspond with the beginning of the label.
