Label specifications When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component: Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200 degrees C (392 degrees F), which is 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 jams. Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (.5 in) of curl in any direction. Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation. Note Use only tray 1 to print labels.
Send labels straight through the printer, entering at tray 1 and exiting from the rear output bin CAUTION To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for laser printers. Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once or print on a partial sheet of labels. Table 15. Label specifications C7058-90936 Media specifications 35 Description Specification Adhesive Must not be on any external surfaces of the label before, during, or after printing. Label construction and die-cutting must not let labels peel off during transport, printing, or fusing. Caliper Must not exceed 0.19 mm (0.007 in). See “Caliper field test” on page 39 Curl In ream: flat within 5 mm (0.2 in).
See “Curl field test” on page 40 Surface resistivity 2.0 to 15 by 10 to the 10th ohm square. See “Inspect the rollers for colored ink buildup from preprinted logos or letterhead, and for toner buildup or spots. Inspect printed output for repetitive defects and smearing. If necessary, have users contact the forms vendor to ensure the paper’s fusing compatibility with HP LaserJet printers.” on page 40 Volume resistivity 1.2 to 15 by 10 to the 11th ohm-centimeter.

Fusing compatibility All adhesives, carrier sheets, top sheets, and other materials used in label construction must be compatible with the heat and pressure of the fusing process. Materials must not discolor, melt, offset materials, or release hazardous emissions when heated to 200 degrees C (392 degrees F) for 0.1 second. See “Furnish (fiber composition) field test” on page 40 Packaging Store in moisture-proof wrap to preserve properties.
