Labels

Caution

To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for
use in laser printers.

If you have problems printing labels, use Tray 1 and open the rear
output bin.

Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once.

Label Construction

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 400° F
(205° C), the printer’s maximum temperature.

Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between
them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels,
causing serious jams.

Curl:

Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than

0.5 inch (13 millimeters) of curl in any direction.

Condition:

Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other

indications of separation.

To print sheets of labels, see page 31.
