Guidelines for Printing Labels:
- Use labels designed for laser printing.
- Do not use vinyl labels.
- Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once.
- Do not use dry gum labels.
- Print only on one side of the sheet of labels. Use full sheet labels only.
- Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the sheets of labels inside the original packaging until ready to use.
- Return any unused sheets of labels to the original packaging and reseal it.
- Do not store labels in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold conditions.
- Storing them in extreme conditions can cause print quality problems or cause them to jam in the printer.
- Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause labels to curl and jam in the printer.
NOTE: Remove all other paper from the tray before loading labels.
CAUTION: Do not use any sheet where labels are missing, curled, or pulled away from the backing sheet. It could damage the printer.
