Adhesive Labels
An adhesive label is paper with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. The three components of
label stock are the top or face sheet (the actud.label), the adhesive, and the liner or carrier sheet,
sometimes referred to as the backing. Use the rear output tray when printing labels to reduce curl.
The elementi of label stock include:
Top or Face Sheets:
The top sheet, which is the printing surface, is usually composed of
photocopy paper.
Carrier Sheeti
The carrier sheet should be bleached sulfate stock, silicone coated for easy
release of the face sheet.
Adhesive:
The adhesive should be acrylic-based since such material is more stable
than other adhesives at the high temperatures encountered in the
printer's fusing process.
warning
Air quafity testing has been conducted on a similar Hewlett-Packard printing

Q
product in accordance with National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) test procedures and standards. As a result of this testing, only labels
using an acrylic-based adhesive are recommended for use.
Adhesives should not come in direct contact with any part of the printer because the label stock
may stick to the photosensitive drum or the rollers, causing toner offset or paper jams. No
adhesive should be exposed between the labels. To test label stock for adhesive exposure, a sheet
of plain paper should not adhere when pressed against a sheet of label stock.
Label arrangement
Labels should be arranged on the carrier sheet so that they cover the
entire page, with the only reposed spaces being lengthwise down the sheet. Using label stock
with spaces betieen labels often resulti in labels peeling off during the printing cycle, causing
serious jamming problems. Do not remove any excess top sheet material from the carrier sheet
until tier printing. These precautions will help prevent problems restiting from labels pulling
loose from the carrier sheet.
I
kbel curl:
Labels must lie flat with no more than ~ inch of curl in any direction.
Poorly mantiactured labels:
Do not use labels having wrin~es, bubbles or other indications
of delamination; they may result in damage to the printer due to labels peeling off.
