Print Media Guidelines
17
• Have postage stamps attached
• Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
• Have nicked edges or bent corners
• Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the
envelopes you are considering, check with the envelope supplier.
• Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
• To load envelope in the multipurpose feeder, insert the envelopes with the flaps closed and
the short-edge of the envelopes facing into the printer. The print side must be facing down.
• See "Loading the Multipurpose Feeder" for instructions on loading an envelope.
• Use one envelope size during a print job.
• Make sure the humidity is low because high humidity (more than 60%) and the high printing
temperatures may seal the envelopes.
Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. Label adhesives, face
sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) and
pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell
recommends trying a sample first.
When printing on labels:
• Set the paper type to
Label
in the
Tray Settings
. Set the paper type to Label from the
printer driver.
• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same tray. This may result in a
jam.
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the die cut.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a
jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could
void your printer and cartridge warranties.
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between
die-cuts of the label.
