Printing on special media

This section discusses printing on types of media that require special handling:

●Printing on labels

●Printing on transparencies

●Printing on letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper (single-sided)

●Printing on paper that has a special finish

●Printing on small sizes, custom sizes, or heavy paper

●Setting custom paper sizes

Printing on labels

Use only labels that are recommended for use in laser printers. Make sure that labels meet the correct specifications. See Labels.

Follow these guidelines when printing on labels:

●Print on a stack of up to 50 label sheets from tray 1 or a stack of up to 100 label sheets from other trays.

●Load labels in tray 1 with the front side facing up, and the top, short edge toward the printer. For other trays, load media with the front side facing down, and the top edge toward you.

●Try opening the rear output bin to reduce curl and other problems.

Do not load or print on labels in the following ways:

CAUTION	Failure to follow these instructions can damage the printer.
	● Do not load the trays to maximum capacity, because labels are heavier than paper.
	● Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet, wrinkled, or damaged in
	any way.
	● Do not use labels that have the backing sheet exposed. (Labels must cover the entire
	backing sheet, leaving no exposed spaces.)
	● Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing
	is designed for only one pass through the printer.
