Printing Labels

Use only labels recommended for use in laser printers. Multi-thickness labels and labels that do not stack flat might print better rotated. To print rotated paper, see page 37. Make sure that labels meet the specifications for the input tray you use (page A-8).

Do:

•Print a stack of 50 labels from Tray 1 or a stack of 50 to 100 labels from other trays.

•For proper page orientation when printing labels, see page 32.

•Try opening the rear output bin (page 26) to prevent curl and other problems.

Do not:

Caution Failure to follow these instructions can damage the printer.

•Do not load the trays to 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 with 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.

•Do not print on both sides of labels.
