[Kenneth_Tollund]

How do I configure the printer to print Avery Labels (A4). There's no option Labels in the paper types. Will the Labels run smothly thrugh the printer or should I take some precautions?

Kind regards and thanks for any help

Hi @Kenneth_Tollund,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Thank you for reaching out regarding printing Avery A4 labels with your HP OfficeJet Pro 9730e Wide Format All-in-One Printer on Windows 11. While the printer does not explicitly list "Labels" as a media type, it is capable of printing on label sheets, including Avery A4 labels, with proper setup and precautions.

 Step 1: Use Compatible Label Sheets

• Ensure you're using Avery labels designed for inkjet printers, as the OfficeJet Pro 9730e utilises pigment-based ink.
• Confirm that the label sheets are A4 size and within the printer's supported media weight range of 16 to 28 lb bond. 

Step 2: Load Labels Properly

• Place the label sheets in the main input tray, label side facing down.
• Load only one sheet at a time to prevent misfeeds or jams.
• Adjust the paper width guides snugly against the edges of the label sheet.

Step 3: Configure Print Settings

• In your application (e.g., Microsoft Word), select the appropriate Avery label template corresponding to your label product number.
• In the Print dialog, click on Printer Properties or Preferences.
  • Set Paper Size to A4.
  • If "Labels" is not an available media type, select "Plain Paper" or "Cardstock" as the media type.
  • Set Print Quality to Best for optimal results. 

Step 4: Test Alignment

• Before printing on actual label sheets, perform a test print on plain A4 paper to verify alignment.
• Hold the test print behind a label sheet against a light source to ensure proper alignment.

Step 5: Print Labels

• Once alignment is confirmed, proceed to print on the label sheets.
• Allow the printed labels to dry completely before handling to prevent smudging.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
