Labels
Select the type of label you are using from the Print dialog box or the printer driver. For UNIX,
Linux, and OS/2, this feature is available in the embedded Web server if the printer is connected
to the network.
CAUTION To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for laser printers. To prevent serious
jams, always use tray 1 to print labels and always use the straight-through paper path. Never print
on the same sheet of labels more than once or print on a partial sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 195° C (383° F), which is the printer
fusing temperature.
Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off
sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any
direction.
Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
For more information, see “Printing on labels” on page 44.
Grayscale transparencies
Select Grayscale Transparencies from the Print dialog box or the printer driver. For UNIX,
Linux, and OS/2, this feature is available in the embedded Web server if the printer is connected
to the network.
The printer supports printing in grayscale on grayscale or color transparencies. (Grayscale
transparencies are usually less expensive.) Only use transparencies recommended for use in
laser printers.
Grayscale transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 195° C (383° F), which is
the printer fusing temperature. Grayscale transparencies print only in grayscale (black and
white).
CAUTION To avoid damage to the printer, use only grayscale transparencies recommended for use in laser
printers. See “Accessories and ordering information” on page 24.
