| Guidelines |
| • | To avoid damaging the machine, use only |
|
| transparencies designed for use in laser |
|
| printers. |
| • | Transparencies used in the printer must be able |
|
| to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature. |
|
| Check your machine’s specification to view the |
|
| fusing temperature, see page 13.1. |
| • | 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. |
Transparencies | • | 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.

| Guidelines | |
| • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels | ||
|
| designed for use in laser printers. | |
| • 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 13.1. | |
|
| - 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 | |
Labels |
| 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 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. | |
|
|
| |
| • | Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm | |
Card stock or |
| (3.00 inches) wide or 127 mm (5.00 inches) long. | |
• | In the software application, set margins at least | ||
materials |
| 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of | |
|
| the material. | |
|
|
| |
| • | Letterhead must be printed with | |
|
| 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 13.1. | |
Preprinted | • | Letterhead ink must be | |
| should not adversely affect printer rollers. | ||
paper |
| ||
• | Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a | ||
| |||
|
| ||
|
| 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. | |
