may result in a paper jam.

￿Pre-punched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your multifunction printer may require more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as standard paper.

￿Weight guidelines for pre-punched paper are the same as non-punched paper.

Transparencies

You can load up to 75 sheets of transparencies in the multipurpose feeder for a single print job. Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first.

When printing on transparencies:

￿Set the paper type to Transparency from the printer driver to avoid damaging your multifunction printer.

￿Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Do not use regular transparencies. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous emissions.

￿Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies. This may result in poor print quality.

￿Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

￿Non-white transparencies are not supported with the multifunction printer.

Selecting Transparencies

The multifunction printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transparency used. Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first.

The paper type setting for the multipurpose feeder should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See "Tray Settings" for detailed information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that reach temperatures as high as 205°C (401°F). Only use transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Envelopes

You can load a stack of envelopes up to 15 mm (0.59 in.) in height in the multipurpose feeder for a single print job. Depending on the type of envelope and how they have been stored, loading a large quantity of envelopes, within the maximum range, may not feed into the multifunction printer. If this happens, reduce the number of envelopes in the stack. Depending on the choice of envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of light wrinkling. Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first. See "Loading the Multipurpose Feeder" for instructions on loading an envelope.

When printing on envelopes:

￿Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.
