Dell 2150cn manual Selecting Pre-Printed Media and Letterheads, Selecting Pre-Punched Paper

•Do not remove the tray while printing is in progress.

•Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the tray.

•Flex the paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.

Selecting Pre-Printed Media and Letterheads

When selecting pre-printed and letterhead paper for the printer:

•Use grain long paper for best results.

•Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.

•Select paper that absorb ink, but does not bleed.

•Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

•Use paper printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 225 °C (437 °F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

•Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the toner or the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.

Selecting Pre-Punched Paper

When selecting pre-punched paper for the printer:

•Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched paper.

•Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the printer. This may result in a paper jam.
