Guidelines

 

 

 

Transparencies

•

To avoid damaging the machine, use only

 

 

transparencies designed for use in laser

 

 

machines.

 

•

Transparencies used in the machine must be

 

 

able to withstand the machine’s fusing

 

 

temperature. Check your machine’s specification

 

 

to view the fusing temperature, see page 9.1.

 

• Place them on a flat surface after removing them

 

 

from the machine.

 

•

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.

 

 

Caution

 

 

Recommended media: Transparency for a

 

 

Color Laser Printers produced by HP,

 

 

Xerox and 3M. It is not recommended to

 

 

use paperbacked transparencies such as

 

 

Xerox 3R91334, which can cause a jam or

 

 

be scratched.

 

 

Note

 

 

If your machine does not feed the

 

 

transparency print media properly, put a

 

 

blank sheet of paper under the

 

 

transparency, and try again.

Guidelines

 

 

 

Labels

•

To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

 

 

designed for use in laser machines.

 

•

When selecting labels, consider the following

 

 

factors:

 

 

-

Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

 

 

 

stable at your machine’s fusing temperature.

 

 

 

Check your machine’s specification to view the

 

 

 

fusing temperature, see page 9.1.

 

 

-

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 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 machine components.

 

• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine

 

 

more than once. The adhesive backing is

 

 

designed for only a single pass through the

 

 

machine.

 

•

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 105 mm wide

custom-sized

 

or 148 mm long.

materials

•

In the software application, set margins at least

 

 

6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.

 

 

Note

 

 

If you experience jams with card stock

 

 

feeding, turn the paper around and try

 

 

again.

 

 

 

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 for 0.1 second.

 

 

Check your machine’s specification to view the

 

 

fusing temperature, see page 9.1.

•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.
