Printing on letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper (single-sided)

When printing letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper, it is important to orient the paper correctly. Follow the guidelines in this section for printing on one side only. For duplexing guidelines, see “Printing on both sides (duplexing)” on page 43.

Tray 1 orientation: print-side up, top edge toward the printer.

Tray 2 or tray 3 orientation: print-side down, top edge toward you.

Guidelines for printing on letterhead or preprinted forms

￿Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.

￿Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.

￿The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200° C or 392° F for 0.1 second).
