Card stock and label guidelines
When printing on labels:
•
From the printer control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the labels
loaded in the tray.
•
Do not load labels together with other types of paper to avoid jams.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets
also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and toner cartridge
warranties.
When printing on card stock:
•
From the printer control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the card
stock loaded in the tray.
•
Do not use creased card stock to avoid jams.
