* This is the recommended maximum. There are two factors that determine whether the printer will accept any particular stock thickness.
- The ability for the printer to pull the paper through the printer area.
- 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.
