Make sure the humidity is low because high humidity (more than 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.

Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. 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).
Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first.
When printing on labels:
Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies at the same time. This may result in a jam.
l
Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
l
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the die cut.
l
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
l
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.
l
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.
l
Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. Dell recommends zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from
l
edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be removed on the leading edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be
l
used.
Remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.
l
Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
l
Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
