Why is the printer jamming?

Friday, February 18th, 2011

One of the most common reasons why paper jams occur is unclean printers. While printing labels, the paper may jam near the exit. This may be due to unclean rollers of your printer at the exit tray. It is recommended to keep the inside of the printer as clean and dust free as possible. It is suggested to use a lint free cloth and some alcohol based cleaner to clean the printer. Make sure you are using clean printer paper. We recommend you clean your printer every six months or so. Usually cleaning should be done every time you change cartridges.

In some cases there can be compatibility issues with the label sheets and the printer. If even after cleaning you are experiencing the paper jam please call 01733 588 390 and our customer service team will guide you.

It can be done in some cases but it is not advisable. The printer compatibility is clearly mentioned on the AA Labels product pages against each label material.

Therefore, you should avoid using inkjet labels in your laser printer. There is always a chance that some inkjet labels can melt in the fuser of laser printer because of the heat generated by the heat roller that can cause damage to the printer.

Can I print my labels with the printer or copier?

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Some of the labels can be printed with inkjet/laser printer or copier. However, some materials are specifically for laser printers, some for inkjet printers while others can be used on both. Mostly glossy and fluorescent materials do not print on inkjet printers, whereas transparent labels do not print on lasers.
