Labels, Grayscale transparencies | HP 2500n, 2500tn, 2500L guide

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.

	For more information, see “Printing on grayscale transparencies” on page 45.
