A fuser equipped with a web oiler may be required for label applications to optimize feed reliability. Contact your local service representative for ordering information. If you print large quantities of labels or other glossy print media, replace the fuser housing with a web oiler (P/N 56P1555 for a 115 V printer or P/N 56P1556 for a 220 V printer). When printing on labels: • Using the printer operator panel, set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu. For vinyl and other heavy labels, set the Labels Weight (under the Paper Weight menu) to Heavy, and set the Labels Texture (under the Paper Texture menu) to Smooth. • Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray. Combining print materials can cause feeding problems. • Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Adhesive material may contaminate your printer. It could also void your printer and cartridge warranties. When feeding labels, the number of labels per sheet can affect registration more than basis weight. Typically, the more labels per sheet, the better the registration. When printing on card stock: • Set the Paper Type to Card Stock in the Paper Menu. • Do not use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams.

Card stock and label guidelines
Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers. A fuser equipped with a web oiler may be required
for label applications to optimize feed reliability. Contact your local service representative for ordering information.
If you print large quantities of labels or other glossy print media, replace the fuser housing with a web oiler
(P/N 56P1555 for a 115 V printer or P/N 56P1556 for a 220 V printer).
When printing on labels:
•
Using the printer operator panel, set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu. For vinyl and other heavy labels,
set the Labels Weight (under the Paper Weight menu) to Heavy, and set the Labels Texture (under the Paper
Texture menu) to Smooth.
•
Do
not
load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray. Combining print materials can
cause feeding problems.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Adhesive
material may contaminate your printer. It could also void your printer and cartridge warranties.
When feeding labels, the number of labels per sheet can affect registration more than basis weight. Typically, the
more labels per sheet, the better the registration.
When printing on card stock:
•
Set the Paper Type to Card Stock in the Paper Menu.
•
Do
not
use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams.
