Paper and specialty media guide

•Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.

•Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inch) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die‑cuts of the label.

•Make sure the adhesive backing does not reach to the edge of the sheet. Zone coating of the adhesive should be at least 1 mm (0.04 inch) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.

•If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, then remove a 2‑mm (0.08‑inch) strip on the leading and driver edge, and then use a non‑oozing adhesive.

•Portrait orientation is recommended, especially when printing bar codes.

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 30

–“Loading the multipurpose feeder” on page 35

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.

Storing paper

Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:

•For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40 percent. Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent.

•Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.

•Store individual packages on a flat surface.

•Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.

•Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat.
