Tips on using 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.
•
Print samples on labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.
•
Use labels designed specifically for laser printers.
•
Do not use labels with slick backing material.
•
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.
•
Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.
•
Before loading labels on the tray, flex and fan labels to loosen them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.

Tips on using letterhead

•
Use letterhead designed specifically for laser printers.
•
Print samples on the letterhead being considered for use before buying large quantities.
•
Before loading letterhead, flex and fan the sheets to prevent them from sticking together.
•
Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead.
