Printing on Labels
• On ly use la bels reco m me nded for laser printers .
• V erify that the lab els’ adhesive mate rial can tolerate a fusing
temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds.
• Make sure that the re is no ex po se d ad hesive m ate rial
between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel
off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed
adhesive can also cause dam ag e to printer comp onents.
• Never print on the sa m e sh e et of lab els m ore th an o n ce, or
print on a partial sheet of labels.
• Do not use lab els that are separating from the backing shee t
or are wrinkled or damaged in any way.
• To prevent labe ls fro m sticking tog ether, do not let the
printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out.

Printing on Preprinted Paper
• Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing on
it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a
preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).
• Letterhead must be pr inte d w i th heat-resistan t ink that will
not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when
subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 180°C
(356°F) for 0.1 seconds.
• Ink on letterhead must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in moisture-proof
wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and
letterhead , verify tha t the ink on the paper is dry. Du ring the
fusing pro cess, w e t ink can come off of prep rinte d pap er,
reducing the print quality.
