Printing Labels and Transparencies

Print labels and transparencies from Tray 1, rather than from Tray 2 or optional trays. Tray 1 has a straighter paper path, resulting in fewer paper jams.

If labels and transparencies jam or multiple pages are fed at one time during printing try the following:

•Fan the stack of labels or transparencies, allowing space between each sheet.

•If problems persist, print one sheet at a time through Tray 1.

Do not try to print on both sides of labels or transparencies. Do not try to print labels or transparencies from the optional Tray 3. Damage to the printer may occur.

Label Guidelines

Only use labels recommended for use in laser printers (the labels must be compatible with the heat and pressure of the fusing assembly process). See Appendix A for media specifications.

•Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or that are wrinkled or damaged in any way.

•Do not use label sheets with the backing sheet exposed, such as labels with any spaces between them.

•Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The label adhesive is designed for only one pass through the printer.

If a sheet of labels becomes jammed in the printer, turn off the printer, remove the toner cartridge, and carefully pull the labels out towards the front of the printer.

Transparency Guidelines

Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers, such as HP or 3M overhead transparency film. See Appendix A for media specifications.

•To avoid transparency curl, remove the transparency as it comes out of the printer and set it on a flat surface to cool.

•To avoid transparencies sticking together, remove any transparencies in the output bin before printing another transparency.
