Using specialty media

Tips on using letterhead

Use letterhead designed specifically for laser printers.

Print samples on the letterhead being considered for use before buying large quantities.

Before loading letterhead, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. For information on how to load letterhead, see:

“Loading trays” on page 31

“Loading the multipurpose feeder” on page 36

Tips on using transparencies

Print a test page on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.

Feed transparencies from the standard tray, or the multipurpose feeder.

Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures up to 185°C (365°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Note: If the transparency weight is set to Heavy and the transparency texture is set to Rough in the Paper menu, then transparencies can be printed at a temperature up to 195°C (383°F).

Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies to prevent print quality problems.

Before loading transparencies, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
