Tips on using labels

Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Note: Use only paper label sheets. Vinyl, pharmacy, and two-sided labels are not supported.
When printing on labels:
• Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify
that:
- The labels can withstand temperatures up to 240°C (464°F) without sealing, excessive curling,
wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
- Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 25-psi (172-kPa)
pressure without delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes.
• 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.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inch) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts
of the label.
• Make sure the adhesive backing does not reach to the edge of the sheet. Zone coating of the
adhesive should be at least 1 mm (0.04 inch) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates the
printer and could void the warranty.
• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, then remove a 2-mm (0.06-inch) strip on the leading
and driver edge, and then use a non-oozing adhesive.
• Portrait orientation is recommended, especially when printing bar codes.

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, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
