Labels
To avoid media jams and damage to the printer components, make sure that you follow these guidelines.

Xerox recommends using Avery White Laser Labels, for example:
-
A/Letter: 5160, 5960
-
A4: L7162
-
Each label is at least 25 x 67 mm or 1 x 2.625 in. in size. Smaller labels may peel off and damage printer components.
-
If any of the labels on a sheet are missing, do not use that sheet; it may damage the printer.
-
Use full-sheet peel-off labels.
-
Make sure that the duplex printing option is
disabled
in the printer driver.
- Do not store labels in high-humidity environments. Labels stored under such conditions will jam in the printer.
-
Refer to your application's manual for information on page orientation and page margins.
If your application has a setting for Avery labels, use it as a template. Otherwise, set margins and spacing according to the guidelines in the instruction sheets that are included with the labels.
