Labels
Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing down.
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
machines.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’s
fusing temperature of about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second.
- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them.
Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing
serious jams.
- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5
inches) of curl in any direction.
- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.
Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause
paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine
components.
• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The
adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the machine.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled,
bubbled, or damaged.
• Do not load paper that does not have space between labels running the
same direction as the paper is being fed. Otherwise, it could cause paper
jams.
