Hi @PAB602 

Welcome to the HP support community.
 

I understand you're experiencing an issue with your HP device, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I'm here to help you today.

It sounds like you are experiencing accessibility issues when printing Avery 5202 File Folder Labels on your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M29w printer. The issue could be related to several factors, such as incorrect label settings, paper size settings, or printer configuration. Here's how you can troubleshoot and resolve this issue.

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting:

1. Check Label Settings in Printer Software

• Avery 5202 File Folder Labels typically have a 3.5" x 5.5" size. Make sure this is selected in your document software.
• In Microsoft Word:
  1. Go to Mailings > Labels > Options.
  2. Select Avery US Letter as the label vendor.
  3. Scroll down to select Avery 5202 from the list of label options.
  4. Ensure the correct label size is displayed.
• In Avery Design & Print:
  1. Choose Avery 5202 from the label template options.
  2. Verify that the 3.5" x 5.5" size is set correctly.

2. Verify Printer Settings and Paper Size

• Paper Size: Make sure your printer is set to print on the correct paper size. If you're using Avery 5202 labels, select Custom Size (3.5" x 5.5") or the closest available preset.
  1. Open the Print dialog on your computer.
  2. Click Printer Properties.
  3. Go to the Paper/Quality tab and select the appropriate paper size (Custom size or 3.5" x 5.5" if available).
• Media Type: Set the media type to Labels or Heavy Paper depending on your printer’s options.

3. Ensure Labels Are Loaded Correctly

• When loading the labels into the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M29w, make sure they are placed correctly in the input tray:
  • Place the labels face down.
  • Adjust the paper guides snugly against the labels to avoid misalignment.

4. Test Print a Sample Page

• In Microsoft Word or Avery Design & Print, you can print just one label or a few labels on a test sheet to verify the alignment and settings.

5. Ensure Proper Printer Driver Installation

6. Avoid Printer Overheating (For Label Printing)

Printing on labels can sometimes cause the printer to overheat, leading to issues like misprints, paper jams, or poor print quality. If you are printing multiple pages of labels, consider giving the printer breaks between printing jobs to avoid overheating.

7. Check for Any Jammed Paper

• Open the printer and check for any paper stuck in the feed mechanism.
• Remove any jams carefully to avoid damaging the printer.

I hope this helps! Keep me posted.
