Printing on Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).

Guidelines

•Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 400 °F (205 °C) for 0.1 second.

•Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.

•Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

•Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.

1Load letterhead into the tray you want to use, as shown in the figures below. Adjust the guides to fit the width of the paper stack.

3

Load with the design face down, bottom edge towards the printer.

Load with the design face up, top edge towards the printer.
