Card stock and label guidelines
When printing on labels:
• From Print Properties or the printer control panel, set the Paper type to Labels.
• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray. Combining print materials can
cause feeding problems.
• Use only letter-, A4-, and legal-size label sheets.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Adhesive
material may contaminate your printer. It could also void your printer and cartridge warranties.
• Do not use vinyl labels.
When printing on card stock:
• From Print Properties or the printer control panel, set the Paper type to Thin Card Stock or Thick Card Stock.
• Do not use card stock that is creased. It may cause paper jams.
