Make sure the adhesive on the labels does not extend to within 1 mm of the edge of the label sheet. Make sure the paper guide or paper guides rest against the edges of the label sheet. Use full label sheets. Partial sheets (with areas exposed by missing labels) may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Note: Labels require more drying time. Remove each label sheet as it exits, and then allow it to dry to avoid ink smudging. Printing on custom-size paper Before beginning these instructions, load the custom-size paper in the printer.
