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.

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.

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 field upgrade
kit (P/N 12G6307 for a 115 V printer, P/N 12G6308 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.
