Adhesive Labels
Caution Use only labels recommended for use in laser printers. To purchase
labels, consult your HP authorized dealer or see “Accessories and
Ordering Information” starting on page 2-20.
Label Construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at the 392° F
(200° C) temperature encountered in the printer’s fusing process.
None of the adhesive backing should be exposed between the labels.
• Label arrangement: It is best to use labels with no exposed backing
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: Prior to printing, 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.
• Load labels print-side up in Tray 1.
• Use the rear output tray for labels.
Caution Do not print labels from Tray 2; always use Tray 1.
