Adhesive Labels

Page 156 highlights

Adhesive Labels Use only labels recommended for use in laser printers. To purchase labels, consult your HP authorized dealer or see the HP Support pages at the front of this manual for more information. Label Construction When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component: • Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at the 392° F (200° C) temperatures encountered in the printer's fusing process. None of the adhesive should be exposed between the labels. • Label arrangement: It is best to use labels with no exposed areas between labels. If labels with exposed areas are used, arrange them on the carrier sheet (the backing) so that they cover the entire page with the exposed areas of the carrier sheet running lengthwise down the sheet. Using label stock with spaces between labels often causes labels to peel off during the printing cycle, causing serious jamming problems. • Label curl: Labels must lie flat with no more than 0.5 in (13 mm) of curl in any direction. • Poorly manufactured labels: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of delamination. Label Guidelines • Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or that are wrinkled or damaged in any way. • Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once, the label adhesive is designed for only one pass through the printer.

Adhesive Labels
Use only labels recommended for use in laser printers.
To purchase
labels, consult your HP authorized dealer or see the HP Support pages at
the front of this manual for more information.
Label Construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
Adhesives:
The adhesive material should be stable at the 392° F
(200° C) temperatures encountered in the printer’s fusing process.
None of the adhesive should be exposed between the labels.
Label arrangement:
It is best to use labels with no exposed areas
between labels.
If labels with exposed areas
are
used, arrange them
on the carrier sheet (the backing) so that they cover the entire page
with the exposed areas of the carrier sheet running lengthwise down
the sheet
.
Using label stock with spaces between labels often causes
labels to peel off during the printing cycle, causing serious jamming
problems.
Label curl:
Labels must lie flat with no more than 0.5 in (13 mm) of
curl in any direction.
Poorly manufactured labels:
Do not use labels with wrinkles,
bubbles, or other indications of delamination.
Label Guidelines
Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or that
are wrinkled or damaged in any way.
Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once, the
label adhesive is designed for only one pass through the printer.
