: You may experience some paper jams when using any
media with a length less than 127 mm
(
5 in). This may be

Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Double side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends
of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be
more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one
flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with
the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams, and may even
damage the fuser.

Labels
C
AUTION
:
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended
for laser printers.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and
never print on a partial sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180 °C
(356 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces
between the labels, causing serious jams.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than
0.5 in (13 mm) of curl in any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand
180 °C (356 °F), the machine’s fusing temperature.
C
AUTION
: To avoid damaging the machine, use only
transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
