Labels
Note For printing labels, Hewlett-Packard recommends configuring Tray 1as
a cassette and setting the trays media type to
LABELS
in the printer
control panel. See Configuring input trayson page 76.
When printing labels, use the following guidelines:
Verify that the labelsadhesive material can tolerate temperatures
of 190° C(374° F) for 0.1 second.
Verify that there is no exposed adhesive material between the
labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during
printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive can
also cause damage to printer components.
Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.
Verify that labels lie flat.
Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise
damaged.
Heavy paper
Use Tray 1 for paper that is heavier than 105 g/m
2
(28lbbondupto
42 lb bond). For optimum results when printing on heavy paper, use
the printer control panel to configure Tray 1 as a cassette and then set
the media type for the tray to
HEAVY
. Because this affects all print jobs,
it is important to return the printer back to its original settings once
your job has printed. See
Configuring input trayson page 76.
CAUTION Do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification
recommended for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper
jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear.
