Guidelines

 

 

 

Transparencies

•

To avoid damaging the printer, use only

 

 

transparencies designed for use in laser

 

 

printers.

 

• Transparencies used in the printer must be able

 

 

to withstand 195° C (383° F), the printer’s

 

 

fusing temperature.

 

•

Place them on a flat surface after removing

 

 

them from the printer.

 

•

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.

 

 

 

Labels

•

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 195° C (383° 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

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

Card stock or

•

Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm

custom-sized

 

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

materials

•

In the software application, set margins at least

 

 

6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of

 

 

the material.

Guidelines

 

 

 

Preprinted

•

Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant

paper

 

ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release

 

 

hazardous emissions when subjected to the

 

 

printer’s fusing temperature of 195° C (383° F)

 

 

for 0.1 second.

 

•

Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and

 

 

should not adversely affect printer rollers.

 

•

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.
