Below are some recommendations for selecting paper and other
printmediaforyourprinter.
Labels
Use only labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper copiers.
Use the MP tray to print on these materials.
To prevent the adhesive from coming into contact with printer
parts, always use labels that completely cover the backing sheet
such that no gaps occur between the individual labels.
You should test the label sheet for leaking adhesive by pressing a
sheet of paper on top of a sheet of labels. If the paper sticks to the
label sheet when you lift it off, do not use the labels.
Envelopes
Load envelopes in the MP tray with the flap edge first and the
surface to print on facing up. The printing quality on envelopes
may be irregular because different parts of an envelope have
different thicknesses. You can load up to10 envelopes (depending
on the thickness).
Note:
❏ Because thickness and surface characteristics are especially
important for envelopes, test a sample for print quality and proper
feeding before you buy a large number of envelopes.
❏ Do not use window type envelopes unless they have been specified
for laser printers. The plastic on most window envelopes will melt
when it comes into contact with the hot fuser.
