A fuser equipped with a dry web cleaner may be required for label applications to optimize feed reliability.

For vinyl and other heavy labels, set Labels Weight (under the Paper Weight menu) to Heavy, and set 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. Print on sheets with more number of labels to improve registration.
