Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers. A fuser equipped with a web oiler may be required for
label applications to optimize feed reliability. Contact your local service representative for ordering information.
When printing on labels:
•
Using the printer operator panel, set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu. For vinyl and other heavy
labels, set the Labels Weight (under the Paper Weight menu) to Heavy, and set the Labels Texture (under the
Paper Texture menu) to Smooth.
•
Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray. Combining print materials can
cause feeding problems.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Adhesive
material may contaminate your printer. It could also void your printer and cartridge warranties.
When feeding labels, the number of labels per sheet can affect registration more than basis weight. Typically, the more
labels per sheet, the better the registration.
When printing on card stock:
•
Set the Paper Type to Card Stock in the Paper Menu.
•
Do not use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams.
