•Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams

Envelope Storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 4.6.

Labels
CAUTION:
•To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for laser printers.
•To prevent serious jams, always use the
•Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and never print on a partial sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
•Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 195 °C (383 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
•Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
•Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 in) of curl in any direction.
•Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.7.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 140 °C (284 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
