Load and print labels
Introduction
The following information describes how to print and load labels.
To print on sheets of labels, use Tray 2 or one of the 550-sheet trays. Tray 1 does not support labels.
To print labels using the manual feed option, follow these steps to select the correct settings in the print driver,
and then load the labels into the tray after sending the print job to the printer. When using manual feed, the
printer waits to print the job until it detects that the tray has been opened.
Manually feed labels
1. From the software program, select the Print option.
2. Select the printer from the list of printers, and then click the Properties or Preferences button to open the
print driver.
NOTE: The name of the button varies for dierent software programs.
NOTE: To access these features from a Windows 8 or 8.1 Start screen, select Devices, select Print, and
then select the printer.
3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.
4. In the Paper size drop-down list, select the correct size for the sheets of labels.
5. In the Paper type drop-down list, select Labels.
6. In the Paper source drop-down list, select Manual feed.
NOTE: When using manual feed, the printer prints from the lowest-numbered tray that is congured for
the correct size of paper, so it is not necessary to specify a particular tray. For example, if Tray 2 is
congured for labels, the printer will print from Tray 2. If Tray 3 is installed and congured for labels, but
Tray 2 is not congured for labels, the printer will print from Tray 3.
7. Click the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box.
8. In the Print dialog box, click the Print button to print the job.
