Labels

CAUTION To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for laser printers, such as HP-brand labels. (For ordering information, see page 25.)

To prevent serious jams, always use Tray 1 to print labels and always use the rear output bin.

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

Label Construction

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

λAdhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s fusing temperature.

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

λCurl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any direction.

λCondition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.

See “Printing on Labels” on page 37.
