Tray1 and the optional 550-sheet feeder do not support labels.• Do not load labels together with paper in the MPF.• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die-cut.• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of thelabel.• Do not print a label through the printer more than once.• Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.• Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam.• Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet.
