Guidelines

 

 

 

 

To avoid damaging the printer, use only

 

 

transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

 

Transparencies used in the printer must be able

 

 

to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s fusing

 

 

temperature.

 

• Place them on a flat surface after removing them

 

 

from the printer.

Transparencies

Do not leave them in the paper tray for long

 

periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate

 

 

 

 

on them, resulting in spotty printing.

 

To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints,

 

 

handle them carefully.

 

To avoid fading, do not expose printed

 

 

transparencies to prolonged sunlight.

 

Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled,

 

 

curled, or have any torn edges.

 

 

 

 

To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels

 

 

designed for use in laser printers.

 

When selecting labels, consider the following

 

 

factors:

 

 

-

Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

 

 

 

stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s fusing

 

 

 

temperature.

 

 

- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed

 

 

 

backing between them. Labels can peel off

 

 

 

sheets that have spaces between the labels,

 

 

 

causing serious jams.

 

 

-

Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with

 

 

 

no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any

Labels

 

 

direction.

 

-

Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,

 

 

 

 

 

bubbles, or other indications of separation.

 

Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive

 

 

material between labels. Exposed areas can

 

 

cause labels to peel off during printing, which

 

 

can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can

 

 

also cause damage to printer components.

 

Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer

 

 

more than once. The adhesive backing is

 

 

designed for only a single pass through the

 

 

printer.

 

Do not use labels that are separating from the

 

 

backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or

 

 

otherwise damaged.

 

 

 

 

Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm

Card stock or

 

(3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.

materials

 

6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of

 

 

the material.

Guidelines

 

 

 

 

Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant

 

 

ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release

 

 

hazardous emissions when subjected to the

 

 

printer’s fusing temperature of 205° C (400° F)

 

 

for 0.1 second.

 

Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and

Preprinted

 

should not adversely affect printer rollers.

paper

Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a

 

 

moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes

 

 

during storage.

 

Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms

 

 

and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is

 

 

dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come

 

 

off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

 

 

 

Loading paper

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray 1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb plain paper.

You can purchase an optional tray (tray 2) and attach it below the standard tray to load an additional 250 sheets of paper. For order information for an optional tray, see page 7.1.

The paper level indicator on the front of the tray 1 and the optional tray 2 shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator bar appears at the bottom.
