Vinyl labels are supported only when the printing environment and media are 20–32.2°C (68–90°F).

The skew performance of heavy vinyl labels may be enhanced by feeding from an optional 500‑sheet drawer if placement
of the image is critical.

such as coated paper, polyester, vinyl, or other synthetic facestock paper. Using media higher than 200
Sheffield could result in print quality degradation.

Use only materials recommended for use with laser printers.
To prevent specialty media sheets from sticking together, remove each sheet from the bin as it is printed.
Card stock and label guidelines
When printing on labels:
• Set Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver.
• Use A4- or letter-size paper.
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 inch) of the die-cut.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Partial
sheets will also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge
warranties.
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 180°C (356°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
• Verify that the adhesive material of the label can tolerate a fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 second.
• Use labels that can withstand pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 inch) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.
