Vinyl, pharmacy, or dual-sided labels are not supported. Use paper
labels only. Single-sided paper labels designed for laser printers
are supported for occasional use.
Manual feeder

Paper characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these characteristics when evaluating
new paper stock.
Weight
The printer trays can automatically feed paper weights up to 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond) grain long paper. The manual
feeder can automatically feed paper weights up to 163 g/m
2
(43 lb bond) grain long paper. Paper lighter than
60 g/m
2
(16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use 75 g/m
2
(20 lb
bond) grain long paper. For paper smaller than 182 x 257 mm (7.2 x 10.1 in.), we recommend 90 g/m
2
(24 lb) or heavier
paper.
Note: Duplex printing is supported only for 60–90 g/m
2
(16–24 lb bond) paper.
