Printing on Labels

Guidelines

•Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

•Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second.

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

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

•Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

1Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and the rear output tray.

2Load labels with the print side up. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the labels.
