• 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-, or legal-size 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.
When printing on card stock:
• From the printer control panel, set Paper Type to Card Stock in the Paper Menu.
• Set Card Stock Weight to Normal or Heavy.
• Do not use creased card stock. It may cause paper jams.
