Label printing
Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers. A special fuser cleaner should be used for label
applications to optimize feed reliability. See your printer documentation for information on ordering label fuser cleaners.
When printing on labels:
• Using the printer operator panel, set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu. For vinyl and other heavy
labels, set the Labels Weight (under the Paper Weight menu) to Heavy, and set the Labels Texture (under the
Paper Texture menu) to Smooth.
Note: When Paper Type is set to Labels, and Labels Weight is set to Heavy, the printer reduces the printing
speed to 30 ppm, to ensure acceptable printing.
• 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.
When feeding labels, the number of labels per sheet can affect registration more than basis weight. Typically, the more
labels per sheet, the better the registration.
When printing on card stock:
• Set the Paper Type to Card Stock in the Paper Menu.
• Do not use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams.
