Check Your Printer Driver
Refer to your printer manufacturer website to check updates for drivers
Paper Size & Page Scaling
Check that your Page Size is correct for your Everstix Product (8.5” x 11” for most US products)
Page Scaling or Page Size might be in the print dialog box, or under Preferences or Properties button – be sure the setting is 100% or Actual Size
If you are printing a PDF and you don’t see these options, you may need to click Print Using System Dialog
Paper or Media Type
Change the Paper or Media Type to Labels, Heavyweight, Matte Photo or Cardstock to help your printer pull the sheets through
Print Quality
For glossy labels, choose a Normal or a Plain Paper setting to avoid smearing
For other labels and cards, select Best or High quality to avoid misalignment
If you do not have these options, we highly recommend feeding one sheet at a time and creating a separate print job for each
Feeding Sheets
Fan the sheets before putting them in
We suggest using the manual feed tray or a tray on the printer with the most straight feed path
Be sure not to over-fill the tray (only 1/2 or 3/4 capacity)
Gently snug the paper guides to the edges of the labels or cards
If you're only printing a few sheets, place 20 or so sheets of plain paper underneath
If the printer is feeding more than one sheet, we would recommend feeding one sheet at a time
Cleaning
We recommend cleaning the multipurpose or lower cassette tray where you place your labels or cards
Use canned air to blow off any dirt or paper fibers from previous use
Use tissue paper or paper towel to wipe down paper guides which may have dirt or adhesive residue from previous use
Use tissue paper or paper towel to wipe down the rest of the tray that the paper will touch to remove remaining dirt
Note: paper type and quality settings may differ depending on the make and model of printer that you have. If you have trouble finding these options, please refer to your printer manufacturer's website.
