Handling Paper

Labels

This printer prints well on labels if you carefully follow these guidelines:

Be careful to use labels under normal operating conditions. Labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity.

Use the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that labels are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.

Use only labels without backing sheets exposed in the printable area. Labels mounted separately on a backing sheet tend to slip, resulting in crocked print.

Test-print labels before using them. If jamming problems occur and continue, try a different type of label.

Changing the Paper Tray Size

The paper tray can be adjusted to one of the three paper sizes: A4, A5, LTR (Letter), and EXE (Executive). If the paper tray is preset for one of these paper sizes at purchase, however, you cannot adjust it to the Legal size. To change the size, follow these steps:
