Note CAUTION Labels For printing labels, set the tray's media type to LABELS in the printer control panel. See Configuring input trays. When printing labels, use the following guidelines: ● Verify that the labels' adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190°C (374°F) for 0.1 second. ● Verify that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components. ● Do not re-feed a sheet of labels. ● Verify that labels lie flat. ● Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged. Heavy paper The following heavy paper types can be used with the HP Color LaserJet 5550 series printer. Paper type Heavy Extra heavy Cardstock Paper weight 105-119 g/m2 28-31 lb 120-163 g/m2 32-43 lb 164-200 g/m2 44-53 lb When printing on heavy paper types, use the following guidelines: ● Use Tray 1 for paper that is heavier than 163 g/m2 to 200 g/m2 (43 lb bond up to 53 lb bond). ● For optimum results when printing on heavy paper, use the printer control panel to set the media type for the tray to match the paper type. ● In either the software application or the driver, select Heavy, Extra Heavy, or Cardstock as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for heavy paper. ● Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer back to its original settings once the job has printed. See Configuring input trays. In general do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear. ENWW Printing on special media 97
