Card stock and label guidelines
Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers. A fuser equipped with a web oiler may be required
for label applications to optimize feed reliability. Contact your local service representative for ordering information.
If you print large quantities of labels or other glossy print media, replace the fuser housing with a web oiler (P/N 56P1555
for a 115 V printer or P/N 56P1556 for a 220 V printer).
When printing on labels:
•
Using the printer operator panel, set Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu. For vinyl and other heavy labels, set
Labels Weight (under the Paper Weight menu) to Heavy, and set Labels Texture (under the Paper Texture menu)
to Smooth.
•
Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray. Combining print materials can
cause feeding problems.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Adhesive
material may contaminate your printer. It could also void your printer and cartridge warranties.
Print on sheets with more number of labels to improve registration.
When printing on card stock:
•
Set Paper Type to Card Stock in the Paper Menu.
• Do not use creased card stock. It may cause paper jams.
