Labels

Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in letter
size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able
to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).

Try a sample of any labels you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity.

When printing on labels:

Set the Paper Type menu item to Labels in the Paper Menu. Set the Paper Type from the printer
operator panel or the printer driver.

You may feed vinyl labels from the standard 500-sheet tray, or the optional 250- or 500-sheet
drawers. For vinyl labels, you must set the Paper Type to Labels, Labels Texture to Smooth, and Label
Weight to Heavy.

Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing print media can
cause feeding problems.

Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.

Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the die cut.

Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam.
Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your
printer and cartridge warranties.

Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling,
wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of
the label.

Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of
