Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers. A special fuser cleaner should be
used for label applications to optimize feed reliability. Refer to your printer documentation for
information on ordering additional label fuser cleaners.
When printing on labels:
Using the printer operator panel, set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu. For vinyl
and other heavy labels, set the Labels Weight (under the Paper Weight menu) to Heavy, and
set the Labels Texture (under the Paper Texture menu) to Smooth.
Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray. Combining
print materials can cause feeding problems.
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a
paper jam. Adhesive material may contaminate you printer. It could also void your printer and
cartridge warranties.
When feeding labels, the number of labels per sheet can affect registration more than basis weight.
Typically, the more labels per sheet, the better the registration.
When printing on card stock:
Set the Paper Type to Card Stock in the Paper Menu.
