Note

CAUTION

Labels

For printing labels, Hewlett-Packard recommends configuring Tray 1 as a cassette and setting the tray’s media type to LABELS in the printer control panel. See “Configuring input trays” on page 76.

When printing labels, use the following guidelines:

￿Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.

￿Verify that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.

￿Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.

￿Verify that labels lie flat.

￿Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

Heavy paper

Use Tray 1 for paper that is heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond up to 42 lb bond). For optimum results when printing on heavy paper, use the printer control panel to configure Tray 1 as a cassette and then set the media type for the tray to HEAVY. Because this affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer back to its original settings once your job has printed. See “Configuring input trays” on page 76.

Do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear.
