Explanation

When a printer's page orientation setting does not match the physical label layout (e.g., the driver is set to portrait but the label feed is landscape, or vice versa), the printable area is misaligned with the media, resulting in white space appearing mid-page. A contaminated fuser (A) typically causes smearing or faint prints, not blank bands. Worn rollers (B) cause misfeeds or skewed pages. A misfeed (C) usually results in jammed or partially fed paper, not a consistently placed blank area.
