Printing on labels
Use only labels that are recommended for use in laser printers. Make sure that labels meet
the correct specifications. See
Labels.
Follow these guidelines when printing on labels:
● Print on a stack of up to 50 label sheets from tray 1 or a stack of up to 100 label sheets
from other trays.
● Load labels in tray 1 with the front side facing up, and the top, short edge toward the
printer. For other trays, load media with the front side facing down, and the top edge
toward you.
● Try opening the rear output bin to reduce curl and other problems.
Do not load or print on labels in the following ways:
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the printer.
● Do not load the trays to maximum capacity, because labels are heavier than paper.
● Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet, wrinkled, or damaged in
any way.
● Do not use labels that have the backing sheet exposed. (Labels must cover the entire
backing sheet, leaving no exposed spaces.)
● Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing
is designed for only one pass through the printer.
