Card stock and label guidelines
Use only materials recommended for use with laser printers.
To prevent specialty media sheets from sticking together, remove each sheet from the output bin as it is printed.
When printing on labels:
• Set the Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver.
• Use standard‑size products (either A4 or Letter).
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the die-cut.
