Printing Labels on MFP - Best Practice

 

  • When printing labels it is best to use the Bypass tray
    • Select Paper Source: Bypass Tray
    • Load labels in Bypass Tray after print job is sent
  • Start with Paper Type: Thick 1
    • If Ink smudges or appears faded increase to Thick 2 and so on.
    • Changing to Thinker Paper Type will slow the paper going through and adjust the temperature inside the MFP to allow the ink more time to fuse to the thicker paper.
  • NOTE: It is not advised to run labels through the MFP more than once



 

  • After you send the print job and go to the MFP load your label sheet in the bypass tray
  • If you see this screen asking to change paper type to Think 1
    • Select Thick 1 and then press the blue start button
    • This message will only pop up if the MFP does not know what is in the bypass tray
