Labels

 

Select the type of label you are using from the Print dialog box or the printer driver. For UNIX,

 

Linux, and OS/2, this feature is available in the embedded Web server if the printer is connected

 

to the network.

 

 

CAUTION

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

 

jams, always use tray 1 to print labels and always use the straight-through paper path. Never print

 

on the same sheet of labels more than once or print on a partial sheet of labels.

 

 

 

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

 

￿ Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 195° C (383° F), which is the printer

 

fusing 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 13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any

 

direction.

 

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

For more information, see “Printing on labels” on page 44.

Grayscale transparencies

 

Select Grayscale Transparencies from the Print dialog box or the printer driver. For UNIX,

 

Linux, and OS/2, this feature is available in the embedded Web server if the printer is connected

 

to the network.

 

The printer supports printing in grayscale on grayscale or color transparencies. (Grayscale

 

transparencies are usually less expensive.) Only use transparencies recommended for use in

 

laser printers.

 

Grayscale transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 195° C (383° F), which is

 

the printer fusing temperature. Grayscale transparencies print only in grayscale (black and

 

white).

 

 

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the printer, use only grayscale transparencies recommended for use in laser

 

printers. See “Accessories and ordering information” on page 24.
