Label construction When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component: ● Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200C (392F), the printer's fusing temperature. ● Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams. ● Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13mm (0.5inch) of curl in any direction. ● Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation. NOTE Choose labels in the printer driver (see Supported printer drivers). Transparencies Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 200C (392F), the printer's fusing temperature. CAUTION To avoid damaging the MFP, use only transparencies recommended for use in HPLaserJet printers, such as HP-brand transparencies. NOTE Choose transparencies in the printer driver (see Supported printer drivers). Card stock and heavy media You can print many types of card stock from the paper input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser printer. For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than 157g/m2 (42lb). Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear. NOTE You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity and if you use paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180Sheffield. Card stock construction ● Smoothness: 135-157g/m2 (36-42lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-180Sheffield. 60-135g/m2 (16-36lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-250Sheffield. ● Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5mm (0.2in.) of curl. ● Condition: Make sure that the card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. ● Sizes: Only use card stock within the following size ranges: ● Minimum: 76x127mm (3x5in.) ● Maximum: 216x356mm (8.5x14.0in.)
