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.

Do not print on the same sheet of labels more than once— peeling and adhesive contamination might result.

Label construction

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 230° C (446° F), 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 13 mm (0.5 in) of curl in any direction.

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

To print sheets of labels, see “Printing labels” on page 61.

Transparencies

Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 230° C (446° F), the printer’s maximum temperature. Close the rear output bin to print transparencies to the top output bin.

If you have problems printing transparencies, use tray 1. Be sure to remove each transparency from the output tray to keep them from sticking together.

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

To print transparencies, see “Printing transparencies” on page 62.
