MEDIA TYPE	GUIDELINES
Preprinted	• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink
paper	that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
	emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing
	temperature for 0.1 second. Check your printer’s
	specification to view the fusing temperature, see
	"General specifications" on page 88.
	• 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.
