❑Return unused sheets to their original package as soon as possible after you finish printing. Unfavorable storage conditions—especially high temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight—can damage the media.

❑Remember to select the appropriate setting in the driver software before you print. See your Setup and Software Guide for instructions.

❑You can print on sheets of labels in your printer; just follow the instructions for loading plain paper on page 1-4. Make sure the sheets are not curled and that no labels are peeled away from the backing when you load them. You may need to adjust the paper thickness lever; see page 1-11.

❑If the paper doesn’t feed properly or jams, see “Troubleshooting” in Chapter 3.

Loading Special Papers and Transparencies

Follow these guidelines when printing on coated paper, glossy paper, or transparencies:

❑Use special coated paper for 360 or 720 dpi or transparencies only under these normal operating conditions:

Temperature:

59° to 77° F (15° to 25° C)

Humidity:

40% to 60% RH

❑When printing on glossy paper, remove each sheet from the output tray as soon as it is printed and do not stack sheets until they are completely dry.

The paper tray can hold 70 sheets of coated paper, 30 sheets of high-quality glossy paper, or 50 transparencies.
