NOTE: You can improve the printing quality of envelopes by pulling down the rear door to open and pushing the two blue pressure levers down. This instruction will be especially helpful for DL and C5 size envelopes. • A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes. Labels Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in letter size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). You can load one label sheet at a time in the MPF. Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity: • Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets 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. • Do not print within 0.04 in. (1 mm) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label. • Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty. • If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used. 81

Labels

Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are

supplied in letter size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable

stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) and pressure

of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). You can load one label sheet at a time in the MPF.

Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large

quantity:

•

Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting

in a jam. Partial sheets 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.

•

Do not print within 0.04 in. (1 mm) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or

between die-cuts of the label.

•

Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone

coating of the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away from edges. Adhesive material

contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.

•

If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip should be

removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
