Adhesive Labels
Note
Printing labels using the Duplex Assembly , the
500-sheet Lower Cassette (Tray 3) or the PC tray
(Tray 2) specifically is not supported. Always use
the MP tray (Tray 1) to print labels.
Label Construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at the
392° F (200° C) temperatures encountered in the printer’s
fusing process. None of the adhesive should be exposed
between the labels.
Label arrangement: If possible, use labels with no exposed
areas between labels. If labels with exposed areas are used,
they should be arranged on the carrier sheet (the backing) so
that they cover the entire page with the exposed areas of the
carrier sheet running lengthwise down the sheet. Using label
stock with spaces between labels often results in labels peeling
off during the printing cycle, causing serious jamming
problems.
Label curl: Labels must lie flat with no more than
0.5in(13mm) of curl in any direction.
Poorly manufactured labels: Do not use labels with
wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of delamination.
