Handling Paper
Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably, special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.
NOTE: Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory.
Transparency
Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transparency product is 3M CG3700 (Letter, A4).
Transparencies must be placed on the MP tray with the long edge towards the printer. To avoid problems, stack transparencies face up on the face- up tray option.
MP Tray
When unloading transparencies (e.g., for clearing jams), hold them carefully by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on them.
Labels
Labels must be fed from the MP Tray.
The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.
Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram. The top sheet is printed on. The adhesive layer consists of pressure- sensitive adhesives. The carrier sheet (also called the linear or backing sheet) holds the labels until used. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesive-
backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.
