For best results, select a label that was designed for laser compatibility.
When printing on large sheets of crack-and-peel label stock, the
direction of the cracks impacts print quality. When the cracks run
parallel to the short edge of the sheet, print quality is not affected. When
the cracks run parallel to the long edge, mottling may appear around the
cracks.
Load label stock in trays with the labels facing up.
Only load 50 labels at a time.
Run simplex mode only.
Table 3-13. Lightweight uncoated (56 to 84 gsm)
If possible, load lightweight papers with the grain parallel to the front and
back of the paper tray to increase stiffness.
Due to high moisture content, offset papers are more likely than other
papers to curl and jam as they leave the fuser. Try using a heavier or
stiffer offset paper if excessive jamming occurs.
