Printing labels
Use only labels recommended for use in laser printers. Make sure
that labels meet the correct specifications (see “Labels” on
page 196).
Do:
●
Print a stack of up to 50 labels from tray 1 or a stack of 50 to 100
labels from other trays.
●
Load labels in tray 1 with the side-to-be-printed facing up, and the
top, short edge toward the printer. For other trays, load paper with
the side-to-be-printed facing down, and the top edge toward you.
●
Try opening the rear output bin to reduce curl and other problems
(see “Printing to the rear output bin” on page 45).
Do not:
●
Do not load the trays to capacity because labels are heavier than
paper.
●
Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet,
wrinkled, or damaged in any way.
●
Do not use labels that have the backing sheet exposed. (Labels
must cover the entire backing sheet with no exposed spaces.)
●
Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once.
The adhesive backing is designed for only one pass through the
printer.
●
Do not print on both sides of labels.
●
Do not print on sheets from which labels have been removed.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the printer.
