Enhanced Image-Area

The enhanced image-area allows you to print to the edges of 11x17, 12x19, A3, A4, full ledger, and universal media.

▲Caution: Due to print engine constraints, full-sheet images may be slightly skewed on the page. In addition, QMS cannot certify the print quality of text and graphics printed outside the guaranteed imageable area.

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page, use those sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results.

Media Types and Weights

Your printer supports labels, paper, postcards, and transparencies in a number of sizes. Although the printer is not specifically designed for envelope printing, you may want to test print a standard envelope to see if the print quality is suitable for your needs. See “Envelopes:

Special Considerations” in chapter 2, “Consumables,” of the Operation manual for more information on printing envelopes.

Labels

Type

Use only labels recommended for laser printers, such as Avery 5260. Adhesive label stock has pressure-sensitive (peel-and-stick) adhesive backing.
