HP LaserJet M4345xs User Manual

Label construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
●Adhesives:
 The adhesive material should be stable at 200C (392F), the printers fusing
temperature.
● Arrangement:
 Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off
sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
● Curl:
 Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with  no more than 13mm (0.5inch) of curl in any
direction.
● Condition:
 Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other...

Card stock guidelines
Set margins at least 2mm (0.08in.) away from the edges.
Letterhead and preprinted forms

Some of the rougher surface finishes, such as cockle, laid, or linen, might require the special fuser
modes that are available on some printer models in order to achieve adequate toner adhesion.
NOTESome page-to-page variation is normal when printing with laser printers. This
variation cannot be...

Printing and paper-storage environment
Ideally, the printing and paper-storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not
too dry or too humid. Remember paper is  hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while
cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating  systems and air conditioners remove most of the
humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing...

Load media
This section contains information about loading standard- and custom-size media into the input trays.
CAUTIONTo avoid a jam, never add or remove paper from a tray while printing or copying
from that tray. To avoid damaging the MFP,  print labels and envelopes from tray1 only. Print
on only one side of labels, envelopes, and transparencies.
