Caution Failure to follow the suggestions below can permanently damage your printer.

The following are guidelines when using labels in HP DeskJet printers:

Use only Avery paper labels that are specifically designed for use with HP inkjet printers. These labels are less likely to peel when inside the printer.

Do not use plastic or clear labels. DeskJet inks are formulated for use with paper or specially treated plastic papers and will not dry properly when used with plastic or clear labels.

Do not use ANY label material which is damaged, folded, curled, or wrinkled in any fashion. These conditions are frequent causes of jams caused by labels peeling inside the printer. Labels that have peeled inside the printer are difficult to remove and may necessitate returning the printer to HP for service.

Do not use labels that are over two years old. Older label materials are more likely to peel inside the printer.

Do not print on partially used sheets of label material. The varying thicknesses of material passing over the print rollers can cause label jams or print skew.

Observe the following guidelines when storing label materials:

Always store label materials in the manufacturer’s packaging until ready for use. The manufacturer’s packaging protects the labels and adhesives from humidity extremes which could prematurely age the labels.

Always store label materials out of direct sunlight.

Keep label materials flat in the original packaging to help prevent premature aging, wrinkling or bending.
