Preventing jams caused by labels
As with envelopes, prevention is the best way to avoid printer
malfunctions caused by adhesive labels. To prevent jams and feed
problems, labels must meet the following requirements:
• Be cut long grain (as opposed to short grain).
• Totally cover the carrier sheet (no spaces between labels, no
removed labels).
• Contain no excessive glue. (The adhesive should be acrylic-based
emulsion and should not come into direct contact with the printer.)
• Meet HP specifications for fusing compatibility.
• Meet HP specifications for caliper.
• Have a carrier sheet that is not too smooth.
• Use the flat paper path (manual feed slot and rear, or front, face-up
delivery door), which is the recommended printing method.
