Card stock and label guidelines
Tray fill line information
Depending on construction, labels and card stock can sometimes be difficult to pick and feed reliably. Performance can
be improved by controlling the number of sheets of media loaded in the tray. There are two fill lines in the tray. The
solid line is the maximum paper fill indicator. No media should be loaded in the tray above this line or paper jams could
occur. The dashed line is the alternate paper fill indicator and should be used if any feed or reliability issues are noted
with specialty media, including labels and card stock. If paper jams occur when completely filling the tray, load the
specialty media only up to the alternate paper fill indicator.
