Label construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
● Arrangement: Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels,
causing serious jams. Only use full-sheet labels.
● Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200°C (392°F), the maximum
fusing temperature of the MFP.
● Curl: Before printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) of curl in
any direction.
● Condition: Do not use labels that have wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of
separation. Do not use sheets that have missing labels.
Note When printing on labels, make sure to set the LABEL type at the control panel when you
load the tray, and in the printer driver when you print your print job.
